Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let d =  the horizontal distance from Charlie to the plane.
By definition,
tan(32°) = 1694.8/d 
1694.8/d = 0.6249
d = 1694.8/0.6249 = 2712.2 ft

Answer:  2,712.2 ft

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

y= -x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=ax+b

x= -2; y=0 => 0=-2a+b; b=2a

x= -1; y= -1 => -1=-a+b => b=a-1

2a=a-1=> a= -1; b= -2

=> y= -x-2
