A plane is in route to drop off much needed medical supplies to a town. At an altitude of 6.4 miles, it located the town airport at an angle of depression of 7.9 degrees. How many horizontal miles left does the plane need to travel? round to the nearest tenth of a mile.

The horizontal distance is 46.1 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question can be explained by the sides of a right angled triangle. Let x represent the horizontal miles, then applying an appropriate trigonometric function;

Tan θ =

Tan =

0.1388 =

x =

  = 46.1095

x = 46.1 miles

The plane needs to travel a horizontal distance of 46.1 miles.

all it means is function 3

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
