Two sensors are spaced 700 feet apart along the approach to a small airport. When an aircraft is nearing the airport, the angle of elevation from the first sensor to the aircraft is 20°, and from the second sensor to the aircraft is 15°. Determine how high the aircraft is at this time.
Answers
Answer:
711 ft (nearest foot)
Step-by-step explanation:
Create two equations using trig ratios and the information given (refer to the attached diagram). Equate the equations and solve.
First equation
Let y = horizontal distance between sensor 1 and the aircraft
Let h = height of aircraft above the ground
Using the tangent trig ratio:
[tex]\mathsf{\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{opposite \ side}{adjacent \ side}}[/tex]
Given:
angle = 20°side opposite the angle = hside adjacent the angle = y[tex]\implies \mathsf{\tan(20)=\dfrac{h}{y}}[/tex]
Rearrange to make y the subject:
[tex]\implies \mathsf{y=\dfrac{h}{\tan(20)}}[/tex]
Second equation
Let y + 700 = horizontal distance between sensor 2 and the aircraft
Let h = height of aircraft above the ground
Using the tangent trig ratio:
[tex]\mathsf{\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{opposite \ side}{adjacent \ side}}[/tex]
Given:
angle = 15°side opposite the angle = hside adjacent the angle = y + 700[tex]\implies \mathsf{\tan(15)=\dfrac{h}{y+700}}[/tex]
Rearrange to make y the subject:
[tex]\implies \mathsf{y=\dfrac{h}{\tan(15)}-700}[/tex]
Now equate the 2 equations and solve for h:
[tex]\implies \mathsf{\dfrac{h}{\tan(20)}=\dfrac{h}{\tan(15)}-700}}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \mathsf{700=\dfrac{h}{\tan(15)}-\dfrac{h}{\tan(20)}}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \mathsf{700=\dfrac{h\tan(20)-h\tan(15)}{\tan(15)\tan(20)}}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \mathsf{700=\dfrac{\tan(20)-\tan(15)}{\tan(15)\tan(20)}h}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \mathsf{h=\dfrac{700\tan(15)\tan(20)}{\tan(20)-\tan(15)}}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \mathsf{h=710.9678247...}[/tex]
Therefore, the height of the aircraft is 711 ft (nearest foot)

a. 3, b. 15
a. 4, b. 20
Answers
Answer:
a. 4, b.20
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 quarter mile laps in 1 mile, so you multiply the miles covered by 4 to find out the quarter mile laps.
a. 1x4=4
b. 5x4=20
Answer:
a. 4, b. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
A quarter mile is 1/4 a mile is 4/4 so if Jim runs 4 quarter miles he will run a mile so 4 is your answer. Since we know that a quarter mile is 1/4 and a mile is 4/4 we multiply 4*5 and get 20.

Btw the answers not 2 lbs bc 2lb x 6 = 10 lbs and it needs to equal 4 lbs.
Answers
Answer:
[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] lbs per book
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide 4 pounds by the total number of books, 6, to find out how much each book weighs.
4 lbs / 6 books = [tex]\frac{4/2}{6/2}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex] lbs
Each book weighs [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] lbs
2/3 is equal to about 0.667
Another thing I wanted to note, 2 lbs * 6 = 12 lbs, not 10 lbs.

Solve by factoring the quadratic equation 2x2 + 13x
=
-21.
Answers
Answer:
x = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex], x = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 13x = - 21 ( add 21 to both sides )
2x² + 13x + 21 = 0 ← in standard form
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 2 × 21 = 42 and sum = + 13
The factors are + 6 and + 7
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² + 6x + 7x + 21 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x + 3) + 7(x + 3) = 0 ← factor out (x + 3) from each term
(x + 3)(2x + 7) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 7 ⇒ x = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

True
Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.
No, (x+4)² doesn't equal x²+16.
Let's see why.
Remember that
x times x = x²
4 times 4 = 4²=16
So it seems like (x+4)² is equal to x²+16.
However,
(x+4)²≠x²+16.
Well, what IS that equal to?
Turns out that
(x+4)² is equal to x² + twice the product of x and 4 +16 (!)
(x+4)²=x²+2*4*x+4²
(x+4)²=x²+8x+16
Therefore, (x+4)²=x²+8x+16.
