After taking off from the landing pad, a helicopter flies 3 miles west, then 2 miles southeast. How far is the helicopter from the landing pad? If someone could explain to that would be very helpful

When the plane makes its turn to fly southeast, it makes a 45º angle at point a, making angle abc also equal to 45º.  

Line ab is the 2 miles southeast the plane flies.

Line ac = line cb

sine (45º) = opposite / hypotenuse = cb / 2

.70711 = cb / 2

cb = 1.41422  miles = line ac

Line cs = 3 - 1.41422 = 1.58578

Line x^2 = cs^2 + cb^2

Line x^2 = 2.5146982084  + 2.0000182084

Line x^2 = 4.5147

Line x = 2.1248

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 0.1 and 0.6 you wii get 0.166666 which rounds to .167 which is answer b

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
