Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
sin(α) = 3/4
and
cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4
The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
(440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph
Answer:
y = 1/2x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the equation is over 1 and to the right by 2 so Rise/run = 1/2
The y-intercept is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
72 is dividable by 3. It is divisible by 3 because when you add 7 and 2, you get 9. According to the tests for divisibility, if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the whole number is. 9 is divisible by 3, therefore 72 is as well.
