Answer:

47,433.0 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Height of the plane = opposite = 17000feet

distance between the plane and the airport = hypotenuse = x

Angle of depression = 21 degrees

Since Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin 21 = 17000/x

x = 17000/sin21

x = 17000/0.3584

x = 47,433.0

Hence the distance between the plane and the airport to the nearest 10th of a foot is 47,433.0 feet

3x − 15= 3x + 15<br> what is x?
Marina CMI [18]

We are given the following equation and want to find the possible values of x

3x-15=3x+15

Subtract both sides by 3x

3x-15-3x=3x+15-3x

-15=15

Now, we have this weird equation. Since -15 is NOT equal 15 and there is no other way we could have solved for x, there is no real solution to the given equation.

In other words, there is no value of x that makes the equation true.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

What is the value of the following expression?2 x [(12 + 2) x 5] + 32 divided by 2 number on top right 3
a_sh-v [17]

The value of the expression is 141.5

Explanation:

The expression is $2 \times[(12+2) \times 5]+\frac{3}{2}$

The value of the expression can be determined using the rule PEMDAS.

According to the PEMDAS rule, first we need to perform the operation which is within the parenthesis.

Thus, the expression becomes,

$2 \times(14 \times 5)+\frac{3}{2}$

Multiplying the values within parenthesis, we have,

$2 \times70+\frac{3}{2}$

Using PEMDAS, we need to multiply the numbers.

$140+\frac{3}{2}$

Again using PEMDAS rule, divide the number,

140+1.5

Finally, using PEMDAS, let us add the values, we have,

141.5

Thus, the value of the expression is 141.5
