Answer:

Altitude of the plane is 0.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

An airplane A is at height h miles observes a small airstrip at D and a factory at F, 4.8 miles apart from D.

Angle of depressions for the airstrip is 13.1° and the factory is 4.1°.

We have to calculate the airplane's altitude h.

From ΔABF,

tan4.1 = \frac{AB}{BF}=\frac{h}{(x+4.8)}

h = 0.07168(x + 4.8) -----(1)

From ΔABD,

tan13.1 = \frac{h}{x}

h = 0.2327x -----(2)

From equation (1) and (2),

0.07168(x + 4.8) = 0.2327x

0.2327x - 0.07168x = 4.8×0.07168

0.161x = 0.344

x = \frac{0.344}{0.161}=2.14 miles

From equation (2),

h = 0.2327×2.137

h = 0.4972 miles

h ≈ 0.5 miles

Therefore, 0.5 miles is the altitude of the plane.

An 8 foot square floor is to be covered with square tiles measuring 8 inches on each side. If each tile costs 50 cents, how much
wariber [46]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c) $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile is 8/12 ft = 2/3 ft on a side. Then 8/(2/3) = 12 tiles will fit along each edge of the square area to be tiled. That is ...

  12 × 12 = 144

tiles will be needed to cover the area.

The cost of 144 tiles at $0.50 each is ...

  (144)($0.50) = $72.00
