A common misconception in statistics is confusing correlation with causation. If two events are correlated, it merely means that they share the same behaviour over time, but it doesn't imply in any way that those event are related by a common cause, or even worse, that one implies the other.
You can find several (even humorous) counter examples online. For example, if you plot the number of reported pirates assault against the global temperature in the last years, you'll se that temperature is rising (unfortunately...) while pirates are almost disappearing.
One could observe this strong negative correlation and claim that hotter climate has solved the pirate issue. Of course this is a joke, but it explains why you shouldn't confuse correlation with causation.

Answer:
2839.4 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Altitude = 1200 m
Using trigonometry :
The distance from point P to the airplane :
Using trigonometric relation :
Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus
Sin θ = altitude / x
Sin θ = 1200 m / x
Sin 25 = 1200 / x
0.4226182 = 1200 / x
x = 1200 / 0.4226182
x = 2839.4423
Distance from P to airplane = 2839.4 meters
Answer:
She lands on 92.
Step-by-step explanation:
92=58+2+30+2
where she lands = 58+34
92 = 58 + 2x + y where x=2 and y=32
