The plane will make an angle 3.26^{\circ} with the runway.

Explanation:

Given that the plane is flying at an altitude of 11 miles and is 193 miles from the runway, as measured from the ground.

We need to determine the angle that the plane will make with the runway.

From the given measurements, we can see that it is a right angled triangle. Hence, let us use the tangent formula to determine the angle.

The formula for the tangent is given by

tan \ \theta=\frac{opp}{adj}

Where opp=11 and adj=193

Substituting these values in the above equation, we get,

tan \ \theta=\frac{11}{193}

Dividing, we get,

tan \ \theta=0.057

Taking tan^{-1} on both sides of the equation, we get,

\theta= tan^{-1}(0.057)

Simplifying, we have,

\theta= 3.26^{\circ}

Hence, the angle that the plane will make with the runway is 3.26^{\circ}

The ground temperature at an airport was 10 degree temperature dropped 5 degrees for every 1000m above the ground. What was the
Mamont248 [21]
The ground temperature started at 10 degrees.
The rate was: for every 1000 meters (m) of going above the ground, the temperature dropped 5 degrees, meaning that it got cooler.
The ratio is 1000 meters to 5 degrees
So that would mean: 10-5-5-5-5-5=-15 degrees
