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

Peter wants to purchase pizza pies and breadsticks for a party. The cashier tells him that pizza pies are $8 each and breadstick
Dmitry [639]
The answer is A.) 5x+8y≤120

To get this answer the first thing I did was notice what it says the x and y variables stand for. The "x variable represents the number of breadsticks purchased" and "the y variable represents the number of pizza pies purchased". It also says that each breadstick is $5 and each pizza pie is $8. Accordingly, we need to match our variables with what we're buying. So, the y be with 8 and the x be with 5.

So, our expression will have a 5x and an 8y in it.

Now if we notice, it says he can spend no more than $120, so that means he can spend $120 or less. The less than or equal to sign is ≤.

Now we can find our answer. The only answer with 5x and 8y with a ≤120 is answer choice A

Hope this helped!! :))

What time between 6pm and 6:30 pm the hour and minutes hands be exactly 125* degree apart
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

6:10pm

Step-by-step explanation:

At 6:00 the hands are 180° apart.

The hour hand moves 1/12 of circle per hour = 30° per hour = 0.5° per minute.

The minute hand moves 1/60 of the circle per minute = 6° per minute

Angle between the hands decreases by 6-0.5 = 5.5° per minute.

180 - 5.5t = 125

t = 125/5.5 = 10 minutes

The hands are 125° apart at t minutes after 6:00, or 6:10.
