Answer:
9.5°, yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant trig relation is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The distance opposite the angle of elevation is the plane's height, 500 m. The distance adjacent to the angle of elevation is the horizontal distance to the plane, 3 km = 3000 m. Then the angle is found from ...
tan(α) = 500/3000 = 1/6
α = arctan(1/6) ≈ 9.46°
The plane is approaching at an angle of 9.46°. It is safe to land, since that angle is less than 15°.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The usual descent angle for most commercial air traffic is 3°. Some airport geography demands it be different (steeper). A higher descent angle can put undue stress on the landing gear.
Answer:

Answer:
6.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
It would be 36
Explanation:
<em>First:</em>
<em>Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.</em>
<em>Then your initial equation becomes:</em>
<em>108/1 ×1/3</em>
<em> </em>
<em>Applying the fractions formula for multiplication,</em>
<em>=108×1/1×3 = 108/3</em>
<em> </em>
<em>Simplifying 108/3, the answer is</em>
<em>=36</em>
hope it helped. :)
You want to leave a 15% tip on a meal that cost $15.77.
First, convert the 15% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 15%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "15%" becomes 15% / 100% = 0.15 in terms of a real mathematical number.
Second, you need to find out what 15% of your $15.77 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.15 by $15.77, or
0.15 x $15.77=$2.37.
So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $2.37.
This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)
$15.77 + $2.37 = $18.14
$18.14 is your answer
