The elevation of the plane is 3600 ft

Let

  • h = elevation of plane,
  • d = distance from Marsha's house to spot on ground below plane = 3600 feet and
  • Ф = angle of elevation of plane = 45°

From the triangle, we have the trigonometric ratio

tanФ = h/D

<h3>Elevation of the plane</h3>

Making h subject of the formula, we have

h = DtanФ

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = DtanФ

h = 3600 ft × tan45°

h = 3600 ft × 1

h = 3600 ft

So, the elevation of the plane is 3600 ft
