The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.
Let the required length be x, then
Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.
Answer:
I'm pretty sure it is 7.4% or 0.074.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to add the whole numbers, which is 5 + 2 = 7. Then you add the fractions. In order to do that, you have to convert 4/9 to X/36 so 15/36 and 4/9 have the same denominator. In this case, 9 is a factor of 36, so you can multiply 4/9 by 4/4 (which is like multiplying by one). The result is 16/36. Now add the numerators 15 + 16 = 31. Denominator remains 36 because you do not change it when you add fractions.
The result therefore is 7 and 31/36.
