Well I don't know if you are looking for the variable but here it is :)
Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let
the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.
We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is.

Answer:
<u>39 percent</u> is increase in mileage.
Thus, the correct option is B. 39%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A runner increased her distance from 9 miles to 12.5 miles a week.
Now, to find percent increase in mileage.
Previous mileage = 9 miles.
Present mileage = 12.5 miles.
<em>Mileage increase = 12.5 - 9 = 3.5 miles.</em>
Now, to get the percent increase in mileage:
<u><em>Approximately the percent increase = 39%.</em></u>
Therefore, 39% is increase in mileage.
Thus, the correct option is B. 39%.
