7. CHRISTMAS DAY AIR BATTLE The zenith of B-17C (40 2072)’s wartime service came during its last combat flight. On December 24, 1941 the plane departed from Batchelor Field on what became a dramatic mission. The pilot, Lt. Mueller, was later quoted saying: Christmas of 1941 was sort of sad for our side. Our guys in the Philippines were taking an awful beating from the enemy and were due to receive even worse at Bataan and Corregidore.24 At 10:15 on that morning, December 24, 1941, 40-2072

The mystery of Easter Island has puzzled humanity for years. Easter Island is the world’s most remote inhabited island (“The Mystery of Easter Island”), but a group of people managed to sail there and establish a society that created about 900 stone statues across the island ("Easter Island -- World Heritage Site -- National Geographic”). Over the years, scientists have discovered many facts about the people of Easter Island and their achievements, and have been able to create several plausible

Another very crucial issue that has come to play an extreme role in the safety precautions of air travel, is the Malaysia Airline Flight 370 disappearance. This puts a tremendously large mystery on whether or not there is some kind of organized coincidence in the involvement of these downed planes. Flight 370 disappeared on March 8th, in route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, as said by CNN News reporters. Extensive research has been continuing the search for answer conclusively for months now, and

You may have heard the name Flight 19 before but, do you know what it really means? Flight 19 was a group of five TBM Avengers bomber planes. Flight 19 disappeared off the coast of Florida on December 5, 1945. None of the aircraft returned from their mission. The base which they took off from sent a seaplane to find and rescue them but it too never returned. A U.S Navy's final report said that the reason was unknown why they had got lost. So Flight-19 became known as “The Lost Patrol”. Many people

his and Vanessa’s paces should end up in the same place. I did this out on scratch piece of paper and I saw that it forms a right triangle with 2x + 6 being the length of the hypotenuse, and x and 2x + 4 being the legs of the triangle. Now I know how I can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in every right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse c, these lengths have the formula of a2 + b2 = c2. Let a = x, and b = 2x + 4, so that

Castle Rock and Vanessa half says that when she gets to Castle Rock to walk x paces to the north, and then walk 2x+4 paces to the east. So with all the information I have I need to find x. the Pythagorean Theorem states that in every right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse c, which have of a relationship of a2+b2=c2. In this problem I will let a=x, and b= 2x+4, and c=2x+6. So know it time to put the measurements into the Theorem equation; 1) X2+ (2x+4)2=(2x+6)2 this

1. N/a 2. using Law of Sines and Law of Cosines. You get two different triangles. The one combination you can't have is where A is opposite the b. Maybe your notation already specifies this, but I don't think so, otherwise there is no problem. If you try to construct a triangle with the 70 degree angle opposite the side of length 5, the Law of Sines would give sin x = (7/5)sin 70 = 1.316, which is impossible. With angle A = 70 opposite the side of length 7, the Law of Sines gives sin x = (5/7)sin
