Im always grateful, for everything, some people really don't appreciate what they have hmph TwT
The altitude of the plane is 8 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
tan(72°)=h/x
h=xtan(72°) -----> equation A
In the right triangle ABD
tan(55°)=h/(x+3)
h=(x+3)tan(55°) -----> equation B
equate equation A and equation B and solve for x
xtan(72°)=(x+3)tan(55°)
xtan(72°)-xtan(55°)=3tan(55°)
x[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]=3tan(55°)
x=3tan(55°)/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
Find the value of h
h=xtan(72°)
h=[3tan(55°)*tan(72°)]/[tan(72°)-tan(55°)]
h=8 miles

The graphs and their equations are:
- Line 1: 6x - 2y = -10
- Line 2: 9x - 9y = -45
- Line 3: 3x - 12y = -60
<h3>How to determine the equations of the graphs</h3>
The three lines are linear equations, because they are all straight lines.
Also, the lines have the same y-intercept (this is so, because they cross the y-axis at the same point), but they have the same slope
Next, we rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form.
So, we have:

Divide through by -12

Make y the subject


Divide through by 2

Make y the subject


Divide through by -9

Make y the subject

Line 1 has the highest slope, while line 3 has the least slope.
So, we have the following equations:
- Line 1: 6x - 2y = -10
- Line 2: 9x - 9y = -45
- Line 3: 3x - 12y = -60
