A pilot and co-pilot are performing a test run in a new airplane. The pilot is required to take off and fly in a straight path a

t an angle of elevation that is between 33° and 35° until the plane reaches an altitude of 10,000 feet. When the plane reaches 10,000 feet, the co-pilot will take over. Round each distance to the nearest tenth.

Using the slope concept, it is found that:

  • The minimum horizontal distance is of 14,281.5 feet.
  • The maximum horizontal distance is of 15,398.6 feet.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
  • The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>.
  • It's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem, the vertical change is the altitude of 10,000 feet.

The minimum horizontal distance is with an angle of 35º, hence:

\tan{35^{\circ}} = \frac{10000}{d}

d = \frac{10000}{\tan{35^{\circ}}}

d = 14281.5

The maximum horizontal distance is with an angle of 33º, hence:

\tan{33^{\circ}} = \frac{10000}{d}

d = \frac{10000}{\tan{33^{\circ}}}

d = 15398.6

QveST [7]
You have to multiply 75 x 45 which is 3,375. Then, you subtract 24,580 - 3,375 which is 21,205. Hope this helped. :)

X + 1 / 2 - 1 = 1 / 4​
Nimfa-mama [501]

First, make the mixed fraction into improper fraction,

x−12=54

Add 1/2 on both sides

x−12+12=54+12

Find LCM,

LCM is 4

x=54+1⋅22⋅2

x=54+24

Add

x=74

Or,

x=134

Or,

x=1.75

X=1.75 IS YOUR ANSWER!

Hope this helps!

Have a great day: )

The length of a side of a cubical box is 45 m.Find its volume​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box is a cube,

Length = Width = Height = 45m.

Volume of box = Volume of cube

= Length x Width x Height

= 45 \times 45 \times 45 \\  = 91125 {m}^{3}
