Charlie is at a small airfield watching for the approach of a small plane with engine trouble he sees a plane at an angle of elevation of 32 at the same time the pilot radius radios charlie and reports a plane's altitude is 1700 ft charlie's eyes are 5.2 ft from the ground find the ground distance from from charlie to the plane show how you know

2720 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

u can draw a right triangle whose opposite side is 1700 feet, the adjacent side is the ground distance from Charlie to the plane (x), and the angle between theses sides is 32°.

Then, tan (32°) = 1700 feet / x => x = 1700 feet / tan(32°) = 1700 feet / 0.625 = 2720 feet.

2,712.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d =  the horizontal distance from Charlie to the plane.

By definition,

tan(32°) = 1694.8/d  

1694.8/d = 0.6249

d = 1694.8/0.6249 = 2712.2 ft

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

answer4 to the second power is 16

and 4 to the third power is 64,
