Archie and Veronic are located one mile (5280 ft) apart on the ground. They observe a blimp directly over the road between them.

Archie measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 53 degrees. Veronica measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 22 degrees. How far above the ground is the blimp?

Answer:

The height of the blimp above the ground = 1635.363039 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Archie and Veronica are located one mile (5280 ft) apart on the ground. So AV = 5280 feet.

Suppose the height of blimp above the ground is XB = h feet.

Archie measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 53 degrees. So angle ∠BAX = 53°.

Veronica measures the angle of elevation from the ground to the blimp to be 22 degrees. So angle ∠BVX = 22°.

Considering Right triangle ΔAXB, cot(A) = AX / XB

AX = XB*cot(A) = h*cot(53°) = 0.75355405*h

Considering Right triangle ΔVXB, cot(B) = VX / XB

VX = XB*cot(B) = h*cot(22°) = 2.475086853*h

We know AV = 5280 and AX + VX = AV.

So AX + VX = 5280.

0.75355405*h + 2.475086853*h = 5280.

3.228640904*h = 5280.

h = 5280 / 3.228640904 = 1635.363039 feet.

Hence, the height of the blimp above the ground = 1635.363039 feet.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

We choose C

The spread from the lower quartile to the median is greater than the spread from the median to the upper quartile.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question missed key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the orginal one.

Please have a look at the attached photo

My answer:

Given the information in the photo, we can know that:

Median: 7

  • Upper quartile: 9
  • Lower quartile: 4
  • Interquartile range: 9 - 4 = 5
  • Lower quartile to median: 7 - 4 = 3
  • Upper quartile to median: 9 - 7 = 2

Let analyse 4 answers:

A. Wrong, Lower quartile to median is more than Uper quartile to median

B. Wrong

C. True

D. Wrong

Which statements are true regarding the area of circle
Pavlova-9 [17]

<u>Question:</u>

Which statements are true regarding the area of circle D? Select two options.

The area of the circle depends on the square of the radius.

The area of circle D is 36Pi centimeters squared.

The area of circle D is 324Pi centimetres squared

The area of the circle depends on the square of pi.

The area of the circle depends on the central angle.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>The following statements are true regarding the area of circle D: </u>

  • The area of the circle depends on the square of the radius
  • The area of circle D is 324Pi centimeters

<u>Step-By-Step Explanation:</u>

As we know, the formula for area of the circle is given by,

             A=\pi r^{2}

Where, r = radius of the circle. In figure, CD = radius = 18 cm

So, the circle area can be measured as

            A=\pi(18)^{2}=324 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2}

From this, concluding that the circle area depends on radius square and its value is 324 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2}. Hence, the statement given in option A and C are correct (reveals that option B is incorrect).  

As the Pi is constant, the circle radius cannot depend on Pi value and Option D also incorrect. The area of sector of circle only depends on ratio of central angle to entire circle (So option E also incorrect).

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

A). Participle phrase.

Step-by-step explanation:

'Participle phrases' are defined as the phrases that consist of a participle(present or past) followed by modifiers and their object plus any/or complements. These phrases primarily function as adjectives by providing information about a noun or pronoun in the sentence.

In the given sentence, the underlined portion('stepping from the embrace') is a participle phrase as it begins with a participle('present as it ends with 'ing') followed by the modifier prepositional phrase 'from the embrace'(as an adverb). It is <u>functioning as an adjective as it modifies the pronoun 'she' in the sentence</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
