An airplane is flying 2 miles over the ocean directly toward a coastline. If the angle of depression to the coastline from the airplane is 15 degrees, how much farther does the airplane have to fly before it is directly above the coastline? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

The airplane has to fly approximately 7.47 miles farther before it is directly above the coastline (rounded to the nearest tenth).

Here,

Let's consider the situation described in the problem:

An airplane is flying 2 miles over the ocean, directly toward a coastline. The angle of depression from the airplane to the coastline is 15 degrees. We want to find out how much farther the airplane has to fly before it is directly above the coastline.

Let's represent the distance the airplane needs to fly before it is directly above the coastline as "x" miles.

Now, we have a right-angled triangle formed by the airplane, the coastline, and the point directly below the airplane on the coastline (the foot of the perpendicular).

The angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal line (the coastline) and the line of sight from the airplane to the foot of the perpendicular.

Since we know the angle of depression and the length of the opposite side (the height of the airplane above the coastline, which is 2 miles), we can use trigonometry (specifically, the tangent function) to find the length of the adjacent side, which is the distance the airplane needs to fly (x miles).

The tangent of an angle in a right-angled triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side:

tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent

In our case, the angle is 15 degrees, the opposite side is 2 miles, and we want to find the adjacent side (x miles):

tan(15°) = 2 / x

Now, solve for x:

x = 2 / tan(15°)

Using a calculator:

x ≈ 2 / 0.26794919243 ≈ 7.47 miles

So, the airplane has to fly approximately 7.47 miles farther before it is directly above the coastline (rounded to the nearest tenth).

Solve the equation 6x^2 + 15x + 3= 2x^2 to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

x = -0.2 and x = -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms in the given equation, by subtracting 2x^2 from both sides:

6x^2 + 15x + 3 = 2x^2

-2x^2                = -2x^2

----------------------------------

4x^2 + 15x + 3 = 0

This is a quadratic equation.  We'll find the two solutions using the quadratic equation

      -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)

x = ---------------------------

                  2a

Here the coefficients of the quadratic are a = 4, b = 15 and c = 3.

Thus, the discriminant b^2 - 4ac is 15^2 - 4(4)(3), or +177

and from that we know we'll find two real, unequal roots.

                                -15 ± √177

The roots are:  x = ------------------- , or x = -0.2 and x = -3.5

Find measure of angles B, E, D and C and the length of BC.

Triangle ABC ~ Triangle DEF. Measure of angle A = 30 degrees and measure of angle F = 65 degrees. AB=20, DE = 35, EF= 28.

Answers

Answer:

< B = 180-30-65=85°

< E = 85°

< D = 30°

< C = 65°

BC = 20/35 × 28 = 16

Answer:

<D = 30

< C = 65

<B = <E = 85

16 = BC

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC ~ Triangle DEF

<A = <D = 30

< C = <F = 65

Since they are similar triangles

A+ C + B = 180 since the angles of a triangle = 180

30+65+B =180

95+ B = 180

<B = 180 -95 = 85

<B = <E = 85

The triangles are similar so the sides are proportional

AB      BC

----  = ---------

DE      EF

20      BC

----  = ---------

35      28

Using cross products

20*28 = 35 BC

Divide each side by 35

20*28/35 = 35/35 BC

16 = BC

A regular octagon has a perimeter of 30 centimeters. Find the length of each side.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter=8l

30cm=8l

l=30/8=3.75cm

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

An octagon has 8 sides in total. The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all sides added together.

To find the length of each side, we divide the perimeter by the amount of sides.

30 ÷ 8 = 3.75

The answer is 3.75 centimeters.

SUPER URGENT: Complete the general form of the equation of a sinusoidal function having an amplitude of 6, a period of 2pi/3, and a phase shift to the left 1 unit.
y =

Answers

Answer:

A general sinusoidal equation is:

y = A*sin(w*x + p) + M

where:

A is the amplitude

w is the angular frequency

p is the phase shift

M is the midline.

Now, we know that:

Amplitude must be 6, so A = 6

period is 2*pi/3

Remember that the frequency is the inverse of the period, then:

f = 1/T

f = 1/(2*pi/3) = 3/(2*pi)

And the angular frequency is 2*pi times the normal frequency, then:

w = 2*pi*f = 2*pi*(3/2*pi) = 3

w = 3

Here we not have information about the midline, so M = 0.

And we know that the phase shift is one unit to the left.

Remember horizontal translations:

for a function f(x), an horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x + N)

if N > 0, then the translation is to the left

if N < 0 , then the translation is to the right,

Here we know that the phase shift is to the left, so p must be positive, and we know that the shift is 1 unit to the left, then:

p = +1

Replacing these in the equation we get:

y = 6*sin(3*x + 1) + 0

y = 6*sin(3*x + 1)

Find the area of the circle.​

Answers

Step by step in the picture

Answer:

153.86

Step-by-step explanation:

So first off, what is the formula for finding area of a circle?

Its [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]

We know that r(radius), is the distance from one point of the circle to its center.

In this case it is 7.

Note that in other cases, you might see a line going strait through the middle of the circle.

This is the diamater, and is 2x the radius. If you see the diamater, divide it in half, and you will find radius.

Now, back to the problem.

We know our radius is 7, so lets plug that into [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]:

[tex]\pi *7^{2}[/tex]

=

[tex]\pi *49[/tex]

=

153.93

So tecnically, this test is wrong. THe actual answer is .07 bigger than what they give.

However, it is the only possible answer, so it is correct.
