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

Elis [28]

Answer:

2/5 hour is closest to 0 1/2 hours, 5/8 hour is closest to 1/2 hour. Therefore, the best estimate for the total time Maria spent with her sister is close to 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent the time Maria spends playing the game as 0.4, since 2/5 as a fraction is 0.4. This is closer to 1/2, which is 0.5 then it is to 0, because 4 is closer to 5 then 0. Then, we can represent the time Maria reads the book as 0.625, which is closer to 1/2 then it is to 1. Now we can add the estimated times. 1/2+1/2=1 hour

Jennifer pays $12.50 a month for Amazon Prime and pays extra every time she rents a movie. One month she rented 1 movie and paid
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: y=5.25x+12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The original 12.50 is how much she pays each month regardless of rented movies, it is the 0 value and doesn't change. Each rented movie costs 5.25 (17.75-12.50=5.25) and that value would be multiplied by the amount of movies she rents that month, and then added onto the original base value.

Which equation shows the correct use of the Distributive Property? <br> −4(32x−12)=−15
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

-128x + 48 = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't any  choices to pick from but using the distributive property you will multiply the -4 by everything in the parenthesis.

-4(32x - 12) = -15

=-128x + 48 = -15.

What is the volume of this square pyramid?
tatuchka [14]

Answer: 1296 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the volume of a square pyramid is,

V = \frac{a^2h}{3}

Where a = side of the square base,

h = height of the pyramid,

By the given diagram,

a = 18 cm,

h = 12 cm,

Hence, the volume of the given pyramid,

V = \frac{18^2\times 12}{3}

= \frac{324\times 12}{3}

=\frac{3888}{3}

=1296 cube cm.

⇒ First option is correct.
