A helicopter is at a cruising height of 1,200 feet. Suppose the angle of depression to the landing pad is 15°, which is located on top of a building that is 64 feet high. If the helicopter continues at the current cruising height, how far does the helicopter need to travel to be directly above the landing pad? Include a sketch that shows all known information and clearly shows what you need to find. Show all work and give the answer rounded to the nearest foot.

we have a right triangle and to get the internal angle of the right triangle formed at the helicopter we subtract 62 degrees from 90 which equals 28 degrees

we now use the cosine to find the distance (d) from the helicopter

cosine 28 = 85/d

d = 85 / cosine 28 = 85 / 0.8829 = 96.2736 = 96 feet

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
