Answer:

2839.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Altitude = 1200 m

Using trigonometry :

The distance from point P to the airplane :

Using trigonometric relation :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin θ = altitude / x

Sin θ = 1200 m / x

Sin 25 = 1200 / x

0.4226182 = 1200 / x

x = 1200 / 0.4226182

x = 2839.4423

Distance from P to airplane = 2839.4 meters

A book is in the shape of a right rectangular prism. It measures 8 1/2 inches tall, 7 inches wide, and 2 1/2 inches thick. What
Alenkasestr [34]
Hello!

The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is:

V = lwh

Let's convert the dimensions to decimals, and then use the formula to solve.

8 1/2 = 8.5 as a decimal.

7 = 7 as a decimal.

2 1/2 = 2.5 as a decimal.

Multiply:

V = 8.5 × 7 × 2.5

V = 59.5 × 2.5

V = 148.75

148.75 = 148 3/4 as a fraction because if you convert 3/4 to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator, it equals 0.75.

ANSWER:

The volume of the book is 148 3/4 inches cubed.
