The horizontal distance to the control tower is approximately 18506.83m

Data;

  • distance from the ground = 3900m
  • angle of elevation = 11.4 degrees
  • horizontal distance = ?

<h3>Trigonometric Ratio</h3>

To solve this problem, we need to use trigonometric ratio SOHCAHTOA.

In this case, we have the value of opposite and angle and we need to find the adjacent to the angle. The tangent of the angle would be perfect for this.

tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan11.4 = \frac{3900}{x}\\x = \frac{3900}{tan11.4}\\ x = 18506.83m

The horizontal distance to the control tower is approximately 18506.83m

4x-8+9-6x=3x+6 cual es el valor de la x?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

El valor de x en esta ecuación es -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 8 + 9 - 6x = 3x + 6

En primer lugar, combinar términos similares en cada lado de la ecuación.

-2x + 1 = 3x + 6

A continuación, resta 3 veces en ambos lados de la ecuación.

-5x + 1 = 6

Ahora, resta 1 de ambos lados de la ecuación.

-5x = 5

Por último, divida por -5 en ambos lados de la ecuación.

x = -1

Wendy wants to put a wallpaper border around her bedroom. The room has two walls that each measure 10 feet 5 inches and two wall
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The correct answer is 11 yards of wallpaper border.

Step-by-step explanation: What Wendy needs to do is to calculate the perimeter of her bedroom. The perimeter of any given figure is simply a calculation of the entire measurement all around the given figure. In other words, the perimeter of Wendy's room denotes the addition of all the four side lengths of her bedroom.

The room has two sides both measuring 10 feet 5 inches. This gives a total of 20 feet 10 inches. It also has the other two sides both measuring 6 feet 1 inch and that too gives a total of 12 feet 2 inches. Adding them all together results in 32 feet 12 inches. Better still, the perimeter of the room is derived as;

Perimeter = 2 (L + W)

Perimeter = 2 (10'5" + 6'1")

Perimeter = 2(16'6")

Perimeter = 32'12"

Having in mind our conversion rate of 12 inches equals 1 foot, the results can be properly expressed as 32 feet plus 1 foot which gives us 33 feet.

If the perimeter of Wendy's room is now given as 33 feet, the conversion rate between feet and yards can now be applied. Having been given that

3 feet = 1 yard

Then 1 yard = 3 feet/3, that is

y = 3/3

Hence,

y = 33/3

y = 11

The results show that Wendy would needs to buy a total of 11 yards of wallpaper border.
