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.

I spent 80% of my money and had $12 left. How much money did I have to start ?
xeze [42]
If you spent 80% that means you have 20% left, we'll use B as variable

20% x B = 12
0.20/0.20 x B = 12/0.20
B = 60

Given a force of 10 N and an acceleration of 5 m/s 2. What is the mass ?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

2 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

F = m * a   (Newton's Second Law of Motion).

10 = m * 5

The mass m = 10/5 = 2 kg.

A car is traveling at a speed of miles per hour. What is the car's speed in kilometers per hour? How many kilometers will the ca
mihalych1998 [28]

Complete Question:

As you may have intentionally forgotten to mention the important data elements in your question like at what rate a car is travelling and number of hours car will travel in required number of miles etc. After a little research it seems I have found the complete question you were supposed to write. Hence, I am answering based on this complete question, but anyways, it would certainly improve your concept. Here is the complete question:

<em>A car is traveling at a rate of 60 kilometers per hour. What is the car's rate in miles per hour? How many miles will the car travel in 4 hours? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answers.</em>

<em>Answer:</em>

The car will travel 37.5 miles in one hour.

The car travel 150 miles in 4 hours.

<em>Fetching data from Question:</em>

The rate at which car is traveling: 60 kilometers per hour

one mile = 1.6 km

<em>a) How many miles a car will travel in one hour?</em>

<em>b) How many miles will the car travel in 4 hours?</em>

<em>Calculation:</em>

<em>a) How many miles a car will travel in one hour?</em>

As one mile is equal to 1.6 km.

The rate at which car is traveling: 60 kilometers per hour

So, just divide 60 with 1.6 to get in miles

                      i.e. 60/1.6 = 37.5 miles per hour  

So, the car will travel 37.5 miles in one hour.

<em>b) How many miles will the car travel in 4 hours?</em>

As the car will travel 4 hours.

And car travels 37.5 miles in one hour

So, just multiply the number of hours i.e. 4 with the miles in one hour (speed) i.e. 37.5 to calculate the distance in 4 hours. So,

                                 The distance =  speed × time

                                                        =  37.5  × 4

                                                        =  150 miles

So, the car travel 150 miles in 4 hours.
