Tan 2° = x / 1 mile,   where x is the vertical change
0.03492 = x / 1 mile
x = 1 mile · 0.03429 = 0.03492 miles
1 mile = 5,280 feet
0.03492 · 5,280 = 184.38 ft
Answer: The vertical change is 184.38 feet

Rainbow [258]

Answer: Sylvia should use 35 pounds of Kona coffee and 65 pounds of Columbian coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of Kona coffee that Sylvia should use.

Let y represent the number of pounds of Columbian coffee that Sylvia should use.

Sylvia wants to mix 100 pounds of Breakfast Blend coffee. This means that

x + y = 100

She is using two types of coffee to create the mixture. Kona coffee sells for $51 per pound and Columbian coffee sells for $11 per pound and the mixture would sell for $25 per pound.

This means that

51x + 11y = 2500 - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 100 - y into equation 1, it becomes

51(100 - y) + 11y = 2500

5100 - 51y + 11y = 2500

- 51y + 11y = 2500 - 5100

- 40y = - 2600

y = - 2600/-40

y = 65

x = 100 - y

x = 100 - 65 = 35

Show that the three points whose position vectors are 7j+ 10k,-i + 6j+6k and - 4i + +9j + 6k form an isosceles right
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

AB = √18 , BC=√18 and CA =4

AB²+BC²  = CA² and AB=BC

ΔABC isosceles right  angled triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vectors are  7j+ 10k,-i + 6j+6k and - 4i + +9j + 6k

A( 0,7,10), B( -1,6,6) C(-4,9,6)

AB⁻ = OB-OA = -I+6j+6k-(7j+10k) = -I-j-4k

AB = \sqrt{1+1+16} = \sqrt{18}

BC = OC-OB = -4i+9j+6k-(-I+6j+6k) = -3i+3j

BC=\sqrt{9+9} =\sqrt{18}

CA = OA-OC = 7j+10k - (- 4i + +9j + 6k ) = 4i-2j+4k

CA = \sqrt{16+4+16} =\sqrt{36} =4

Since AB²+BC²  = CA²

And AB=BC

Therefore it follows that ΔABC is a right angled isosceles triangle
