A passenger in an airplane looks out the window and spots the airport in the distance. The angle of depression to the airport is 63°, and the airplane is flying at 18,000 feet. What is the horizontal distance to the airport?
Answers
9514 1404 393
Answer:
about 9171 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
It can help to draw a diagram.
The relation between angle, opposite side, and adjacent side in a right triangle is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(63°) = (18000 ft)/(horizontal distance)
horizontal distance = (18000 ft)/tan(63°) ≈ 9171 ft
The horizontal distance to the airport is about 9171 feet.

Sugar and flour are mixed in the ratio 3.5 in a sweet recipe in another recipe 15 parts of flour are used if these two ingredeints on both recipes are in both recipes are an equivalent ratio
Answers
Answer: 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the completed question.
Sugar and flour are mixed in the ratio 3:5 in a sweet recipe. In another recipe, 15 parts of flour are used. If these two ingredients in both recipes are in an equivalent ratio, how many parts of sugar should be used?
Ratio of sugar and flour = 3:5
Since 15 parts of flour are used, the parts of sugar that should be used will be:
= 15 ÷ 5/3
= 15 × 3/5
= 3 × 3
= 9

2 < x < 12
Choose any 2 values between 2 and 12 as third side, so
