Answer:

0.67 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram illustrating the question is shown in the attach photo.

In triangle DCA,

Opposite = H

Adjacent = b

Angel θ = 27°

Tan θ = Opp /Adj

Tan 27° = H/b

Cross multiply

H = b x Tan 27°... (1)

From triangle DSA,

The diagram illustrating the question is shown in attach photo.

In triangle DCA,

Opposite = H

Adjacent = 2.3 – b

Angel θ = 34°

Tan θ = Opp /Adj

Tan 34° = H/ 2.3 – b

Cross multiply

H = Tan 34° (2.3 – b) .. (2)

Equating equation (1) and (2)

b x Tan 27° = Tan 34° (2.3 – b)

0.5095b = 0.6745(2.3 – b)

0.5095b = 1.55135 – 0.6745b

Collect like terms

0.5095b + 0.6745b = 1.55135

1.184b = 1.55135

Divide both side by 1.184

b = 1.55135/1.184

b = 1.31 mi

Substitute the value of b into any of the equation to obtain the height (H). In this case we shall use equation 1.

H = b x Tan 27°

H = 1.31 x Tan 27°

H = 0.67 mi

Therefore, the height of the drone is 0.67 mi

The top of a coffee table is the shape of a rectangle the length of the top of the coffee table is 3.5 feet in the area is 10.5
velikii [3]
Area=length times width

area=10.5
length=3.5

10.5=3.5 times width
divide both sides by 3.5
3=width
width=3ft

A drinking glass has sides following the shape of a hyperbola. The minimum diameter of the glass is 45 millimeters at a height o
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The answer is a= 128.95 and b = 14.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given

let the equation of the hyperbola be denoted as  x2/a2 - y2/b2 = 1 here, we will  consider the foci on the x-axis. All units are considered to be in mm.

From question stated, with x and y coordinates represents height and radius respectively,

Then,

When  x = 83 + a, y is = 45/2 = 22.5 and

At x = 180 + a, y  is = 57/2 = 28.5

It is important to know that, the height is estimated from the focus so we a a is included to the heights.

Thus,

(83+a)2/a2 - 22.52/b2 = 1 and (180+a)2/a2 - 28.52/b2 = 1

By using a calculator we have, a = 128.95 and b = 14.75

Therefore a= 128.95 and b = 14.75

A pitcher of water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit is placed into a 70 degree room. One hour later, the temperature has risen to 45 deg
solong [7]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the initial temperature and the temperature after an hour is an increase of 5 degrees. Since we need to calculate the time it would take for the temperature to rise to 60 degrees we need to find the difference in degrees from the current temperature to 60 degrees.

60 - 45 = 15 degrees

Since 1 hour equals an increase of 5 degrees we need to divide 15 by 5 to calculate how many hours before the temperature increases to 60 degrees

15 / 5 = 3 hours
