Question 4

Accepted Answer

First, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal of the base of the solid:
$BD = \sqrt{8^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{185}$

Next, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal of the solid itself:
$AD = \sqrt{8^2 + 11^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{280}$

Finally, we can use the dot product to find the angle between these two vectors:
$\cos	heta = \frac{\vec{AB}\cdot\vec{BC}}{\left|\vec{AB}ight|\left|\vec{BC}ight|} = \frac{BD^2}{AD\cdot BD} = \frac{\sqrt{185}}{\sqrt{280}}$

Using a calculator, we can find that $\cos	heta \approx 0.866$, and thus $	heta \approx 24.09^\circ$ (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Question 8

After leaving the runway,a plane's angle of ascent is 17^o and its speed is 280 feet per second.How many minutes will it take for the airplane to climb to a height of 11,000 feet? Round your answer to two decimal places. A)1.72 minutes B)1.19 minutes C)2.24 minutes D)0.65 minutes E)0.68 minutes

Accepted Answer

We can use trigonometry to find the rate of ascent, which is the vertical component of the plane's velocity. sin(17^o) = opposite/hypotenuse = rate of ascent/280 rate of ascent = 280*sin(17^o) = 80.3 feet per second To climb 11,000 feet, we need to find how many seconds it will take: 11,000 feet / 80.3 feet per second = 137.04 seconds Finally, we convert seconds to minutes: 137.04 seconds / 60 seconds per minute ≈ 2.24 minutes Therefore, the answer is C: 2.24 minutes.

Question 9

A land developer wants to find the distance across a small lake in the middle of his proposed development.The bearing from A to B is $\mathrm { N } 31 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { W }$ .The developer leaves point A and travels 74 yards perpendicular to $\overline{A B}$ to point C.The bearing from C to point B is $\mathrm { N } ~59 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { W }$ .Determine the distance,AB,across the small lake.Round distance to nearest yard. 
A)169 yards
B)114 yards
C)139 yards
D)154 yards
E)121 yards

Accepted Answer

Using trigonometry, we can find the length of the line segment AC:

sin(90-11ea99db_b4bb_b778_94ac_3fddcefa3848_TB4590_11) = AC/74
sin(11ea99db_b4bb_b778_94ac_3fddcefa3848_TB4590_11) = AC/74
AC ≈ 70.13 yards

Now, we can use the angle between AB and CB (which is 90 degrees) to find the length of AB:

sin(90-11ea99db_b4bb_b779_94ac_41851d287bf1_TB4590_11) = AB/AC
sin(11ea99db_b4bb_b779_94ac_41851d287bf1_TB4590_11) = AB/AC
AB ≈ 138.6 yards

Rounding to the nearest yard, we get AB ≈ 139 yards. So the answer is C.

Question 11

A plane is 52 miles west and 46 miles north of an airport.The pilot wants to fly directly to the airport.What bearing should the pilot take? Answer should be given in degrees and minutes.
A) $131 ^ { \circ } 30 ^ { \prime }$
B) $129 ^ { \circ } 27 ^ { \prime }$
C) $132 ^ { \circ } 32 ^ { \prime }$
D) $48 ^ { \circ } 30 ^ { \prime }$
E) $134 ^ { \circ } 29 ^ { \prime }$

Accepted Answer

To find the bearing, we calculate the angle using the tangent function, where tangent of the angle = opposite/adjacent = 46/52. The arctan(46/52) gives the angle from the east-west line towards the north, which needs to be converted to a bearing. The bearing is 180 - angle because bearings are measured clockwise from the north. Calculating this gives a bearing of approximately 131.5 degrees, which is $131 ^ { \circ } 30 ^ { \prime }$.

Question 12

If $a = 11$ and $c = 28$ ,determine the value of B.Round to two decimal places. A)68.55^o ? B)66.87^o ? C)28.13^o ? D)21.45^o ? E)23.13^o ?

Accepted Answer

The value of B can be found by comparing the two given strings 11ea99db_b4ba_09b8_94ac_c75308caad09_TB4590_11 and 11ea99db_b4ba_09b9_94ac_9b6de798dcf9_TB4590_11. The only difference between the two strings is in their third group of characters, which has values of 09b8 and 09b9 respectively. The difference between these two values is 1 in the last digit, which indicates that the value of B is 0.01.

The third given string 11ea99db_b4ba_30ca_94ac_db0ca3087958_TB4590_00 has a different third group of characters, which indicates a new value of B. However, this value cannot be directly calculated from the given information, so the answer is simply the value of B from the comparison of the first two strings.
