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

The predicted calories in food items based on grams of fat are represented by the residual plot.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. The pattern is random, indicating a good fit for a linear model

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph that has the residuals (the difference between the value observed and the value expected (regression analysis) on the vertical axis and the variable that is not affected by the other variables (independent variable) on the x or horizontal axis is known as a residual plot

A linear regression model is suited in a situation where the points are dispersed randomly on both sides of the horizontal axis

Therefore, given that the first point is below the horizontal axis and the next point is above the horizontal axis, while the third and the fourth points are below the horizontal axis, the fifth, sixth, and seventh points are above the horizontal axis and the eighth point is below the horizontal axis, the points are random around the horizontal axis, indicating the suitability of a linear regression model.
