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

1. Find the surface area for the given prism. (11<br> 8 in.<br> 10 in.<br> 14 in,
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

SA = 664 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is the area of all the sides added together.  A prism has six sides.

Take the dimensions and change them so each of the numbers are multiplied with the others.

14 * 10 * 8

14 * 10 = 140

14 * 8 = 112

10 * 8 = 80

Multiply each answer by 2 because there are two sides that have the same dimensions.

14 * 10 = 140 * 2 = 280

14 * 8 = 112 * 2 = 224

10 * 8 = 80 * 2 = 160

Add the areas together.

280 + 224 + 160 = 664  

SA = 664 square inches
