Answer:

Explanation:

If the missile was going 900 mph and we are trying to find the horizontal velocity

This could be 3.88, and rounding it to the nearest hundredth would be 3.90 miles per minute

Answer:

1.45 miles per minute

Explanation:

The question asked it to be presented in miles per minute so divide 1000 by 60 which will give us 50/3. We then multiply that with cos(85) which will give us the final answer of 1.45.
