A plane descends 1000 ft while flying 2.7 mi. What is the angle of descent?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murrr4er [49]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

4.02°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of descent can be obtained using trigonometry ;

Since we have a right angled triangle ;

Let's use the relation:

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Hypotenus = 2.7 miles

1 mile = 5280 feets

2.7 miles = (2.7 * 5280) = 14256 feets

Sin θ = 1000 / 14256

Sin θ = 0.0701459

θ = sin^-1(0.0701459)

θ = 4.0223674

3 x 4 = 12

12/12 - 1/3 ( so 4/12) = 8/12

8/12 - 1/4 ( so 2/12 as you only have 8/12 left) = 6/12

Answer =  6/12 = 1/2 or 50%

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 60 meters. Its area is 200 square meters. Find its dimensions.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

20 m by 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width and l be length , then

2(l + w) = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

l + w = 30 ( subtract w from both sides )

l = 30 - w → (1)

lw = 200 → (2)

Substitute l = 30 - w into (2)

w(30 - w) = 200 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

30w - w² = 200 ( subtract 200 from both sides )

30w - w² - 200 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

w² - 30w + 200 = 0 ← in standard form

(w - 10)(w - 20) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for w

w - 10 = 0 ⇒ w = 10

w - 20 = 0 ⇒ w = 20

Substitute these values into (1)

l = 30 - 10 = 20

l = 30 - 20 = 10

dimensions of field is 20 m by 10 m
