Answer:

123.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that One airplane is 78 miles due south of a control tower. Another airplane is 52 miles from the control tower at a heading of N 38 degrees E. To the nearest tenth of a mile, how far apart are the two airplanes?

The angle Ø = 90 + 52 = 142 degree

Or 180 - 28 = 142 degree

Using cosine formula

D^2 = 78^2 + 52^2 - 2(78)(52)Cos142

D^2 = 6084 + 2704 - 8112Cos142

D^2 = 8788 + 6392.34

D^2 = 15180.34

D = 123.2 miles

Therefore, the two planes are 123.2 miles apart.

One angle of a triangle measures 36.5 degrees. What is the measure of the smaller angle?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The final answer would depend in the type of triangle we are analyzing, however here are the possible outcomes:

1.) If it was a right triangle, 36.5 would be the smaller angle.

2.) It cannot be an equilateral triangle since all angles would be 60°.

3.) In a isosceles triangle, 36.5° would be the smaller, since the others would be 72°.

4.) In an scalene triangle it cannot be determined unless we had 2 angles since in that kind of triangle all angles can be different.

5.) In an acute triangle, 36.5° would be the smaller angle.

6.) In an obtuse triangle it cannot be determined unless we had 2 angles, since it can have highly acute angles.

The transitive property holds true for similar figures.<br><br> Always<br> Sometimes<br> Never
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Always.


Step-by-step explanation:

The transitive property holds true for similar figures always because similar figures have similar shapes, the same angles and dimensions are proportional.

For example:- If figure 1 is similar to figure 2 then both have same shape and same angles and dimensions are proportional .

If figure 2 is similar to figure 3 then both have same shape and same angles and dimensions are proportional .

⇒ figure 1 is similar to figure 3 the both have same shape and same angles and dimensions are proportional as the figure 2 .

Thus the transitive property holds true for similar figures always.
