4. charlie is at a small airfield watching for the approach of a small plane with engine trouble. he sees the plane at an angle of elevation of 32. at the same time, the pilot radios charlie and reports the plane’s altitude is 1,700 feet. charlie’s eyes are 5.2 feet from the ground.   find the ground distance from charlie to the plane. show how you know.

check the picture below.

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

now, Charlie's eyes are 5.2' from the ground, however the distance from his eyes over the horizontal and the ground over the horizontal, is the same, so taking the tan(32°) at his eyes level will give that horizontal distance.

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
