Answer:

The distance  from the plane to SCCA is 34,203.0 feet approximately,  and the horizontal distance is 32,708.5 feet approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can draw a right triangle like the one shown in the figure attached, where:

x: horizontal distance.

y: distance from the plane to SCCA.

You can calculate x as following:

tan\alpha=\frac{opposit}{adjacent}

Where:

\alpha=17\°\\opposite=10,000\\adjacent=x

Substitute and solve for x:

tan(17\°)=\frac{10,000}{x}\\\\x=\frac{10,000}{tan(17\°)}\\\\x=32,708.5ft

You can calculate y as following:

sin\alpha=\frac{opposit}{hypotenuse}

Where:

\alpha=17\°\\opposite=10,000\\hypotenuse=y

Substitute and solve for y:

sin(17\°)=\frac{10,000}{y}\\\\y=\frac{10,000}{sin(17\°)}\\\\y=34,203.0ft

A Geometric series has a first term of 4 and a common ratio of 6. what formula is equivalent to the partial sum of the first n t
IRISSAK [1]
\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=4\\
r=6
