9 miles, you dont even need much math, just common sense. divide 12 by 4 and you get three. multiply 3 by 3 to get 9.
The answer is A) √3
cot(-5π/6)=1/tan(-5π/6)
=1/tan(-(5π/6)
Use the property: tan(-x)=-tan(x)
=1/tan(5π/6)
-(1/tan(5π/6))
tan(5π/6)=-√3/3
-(1/-√3/3)
-(1/-√3/3)
=√3
I need more information on this question so I can help you!
For example 1ft = 12in so 12 is the number that you are going to multiply so just multiply 25×12 and that is your answer
Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let

the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.




We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is
