A helicopter is 665 feet above the ground. A girl is looking up at the helicopter to form a line. Her line of sight is 5 feet off the ground. The distance between the girl and the helicopter is 280 feet.

67

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given adjacent and opposite sides. thus tan^-1 would be used to determine the angle

opposite side = 665 - 5 = 660

adjacent side = 280

tan = opposite / adjacent

(660/280) = 67

step-by-step explanation:

what grade level is this? need to know so i can look in my old textbooks!

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
