Answer:
direct distance = 65,644.07 feet
horizontal distance = 65,154.77 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of depression is the angle that the airplane does with the horizontal plane.
So, if this angle is 7° and the airplane is at an altitude if 8000 feet, we can find the direct distance and the horizontal distance using the tangent and the sine relations of the angle.
In the tangent of the angle, the opposite side will be the height of the airplane, and the adjacent side will be the horizontal distance (hd), so:
tangent(7) = 8000 / hd
hd = 8000 / tangent(7) = 65,154.77 feet
In the sine of the angle, the opposite side will be the height of the airplane, and the hypotenusa will be the direct distance (d), so:
sine(7) = 8000 / d
d = 8000 / sine(7) = 65,644.07 feet
Answer:
rate of the plane in still air is 33 miles per hour and the rate of the wind is 11 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We will make a table of the trip there and back using the formula distance = rate x time
d = r x t
there
back
The distance there and back is 264 miles, so we can split that in half and put each half under d:
d = r x t
there 132
back 132
It tells us that the trip there is with the wind and the trip back is against the wind:
d = r x t
there 132 = (r + w)
back 132 = (r - w)
Finally, the trip there took 3 hours and the trip back took 6:
d = r * t
there 132 = (r + w) * 3
back 132 = (r - w) * 6
There's the table. Using the distance formula we have 2 equations that result from that info:
132 = 3(r + w) and 132 = 6(r - w)
We are looking to solve for both r and w. We have 2 equations with 2 unknowns, so we will solve the first equation for r, sub that value for r into the second equation to solve for w:
132 = 3r + 3w and
132 - 3w = 3r so
44 - w = r. Subbing that into the second equation:
132 = 6(44 - w) - 6w and
132 = 264 - 6w - 6w and
-132 = -12w so
w = 11
Subbing w in to solve for r:
132 = 3r + 3(11) and
132 = 3r + 33 so
99 = 3r and
r = 33
Answer:
x = 0, 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out equation
x² - 7x = 0
Step 2: Factor out <em>x</em>
x(x - 7) = 0
Step 3: Find roots
x = 0
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
