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

find the value of c that makes each trinomial a perfect square. then write the trinomial as a perfect square. the equation , x^2
mr Goodwill [35]
Therefore, the value of C should be (11/2)^2

<span>To square a fraction, take the square of the numerator and put it over the square of the denominator. So since 11^2=121 and 2^2=4, (11/2)^2
(11)^2/(2)^2=121/4
</span>

kramer

Answer:

Figure 1:

Area: 30m^2

Perimeter: 23.6m

Figure 2:

Area: 98.8km^2

Perimeter:56.5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is base x height.

To get the perimeter, add up all the sides.

Figure 1:

Area:

6x5=30m^2

Perimeter: 6+5.8+6+5.8=23.6m

Figure 2:

Area:

7.6x13 = 98.8km^2

Perimeter:7.6+15+20+13.9=56.5km
