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

$\tan{20^o}=\cfrac{opp}{hyp}=\cfrac{x}{5,000}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=5,000\tan{20^o}=1,819.85$

Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

We know that William paid his deductible that amount is the $150.

Then William paid 20 percent of everything else. That's 20 percent of (750 minus 150), it is equal to 150.

Then the insurance company paid 80 percent of (750 minus 250), it is equal to 480.
