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

It is a pattern so 2*3=6
3 times 4 is 12
4 times 5 is 20 
5 times 6 is 30
6 times 7 is 42
so, 9 times 8 is 72.

L. The width, w, of the rectangle is 10 inches. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
trasher [3.6K]
40 inches because a rectangle has 2 sets of parallel lines and if the width and length are 10 then you just have to add up all the sides.
