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.

EXPLANATION
The given equations are:
y = −2x + 13
y = 2x − 3
We equate the two equations to get
−2x + 13=2x − 3
Group similar terms:
-2x-2x=-3-13
-4x=-16
Divide both sides by -4,
x=4
Put x=4 into equation (2)
y=2(4)-3
y=5
The two graphs should intersect at:
(4,5)
I could use the points so if you want to mark this as helpful that would be cool :)
