Height covered by the plane=h= 500 feet
Distance covered by the plane along the ground=d= 2 mile
Now, convert the mile into feet,
1 mile = 5280 feet
2 mile = 10560 feet
Now, use the formula
h= d tanθ
tanθ= h/d
tanθ= 500/10560
tanθ= 25/528
Take the tan⁻¹ on both side,
θ= tan⁻¹(25/528)
θ =2.71°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is obtained by taking the sun of the fence :
Outer fencing :
Let's obtain b :
From Pythagoras :
b² = 15² - 12²
b = sqrt(225 - 144)
b = 9
Outer fencing = 2(12+6) + 2(8+9)
= 2(18) + 2(17)
= 36 + 34
= 70
Inner fencing :
(8 + 9 + 12 + 6 + 15 + 10) = 60
(70 + 60) = 130 yards
