Part A) Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot.
in the triangle ACD
sin16=CD/(7600+BD)--------> CD=sin16*(7600+BD)---------> equation 1
in the triangle BCD
sin24=CD/BD-----------> CD=sin24*BD---------------> equation 2
equation 1=equation 2
sin16*(7600+BD)=sin24*BD-----> sin16*7600+sin16*BD=sin24*BD
sin24*BD-sin16*BD=sin16*7600----> BD=[sin16*7600]/[sin24-sin16]
BD=15979 ft
in the triangle BCD
cos24=BD/BC---------> BC=BD/cos24-------> 15979/cos24-------> 17491
BC=17491 ft
the answer part 1) BC is 17491 ft
Part 2) Find CD, the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot.
CD=sin24*BD ( remember equation 2)
BD=15979 ft
CD=sin24*15979 -----------> CD=6499 ft
the answer part 2) CD is 6499 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = y-10
Rewrite as: 2x + 10 = y
Therefore:
2x+10 = y
2x +7 = 2y
Subtract the equations:
2x + 10 = y
- 2x + 7 = 2y
______________
3 = -y
Therefore y = -3
Substiture y = -3 into the second equation:
2x + 7 = 2(-3)
2x + 7 = -6
2x = -13
x= -6.5
Answer : (-6.5, -3)
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
You can also multiply the decimals by a multiple of 10 to turn them I to whole numbers. Just make sure you multiply them both by the same multiple of 10 and divide them back before you write your answer!
