Answer: 25.2361459992ft

This question can be solved by a trigonometric equation. Shadow formed when something with height like a tree, so it can be pictured as a vertical line. Shadow is a length of and can be pictured as a horizontal line.  
In trigonometric, to find the vertical line length with horizontal line you need tan function. The sun angle will be used in the function, so the calculation would be: tan(31) x 42ft = 25.2361459992ft

An airplane is flying from New York city to Los Angeles.The distance it travels in Miles, D, is related to the time in seconds,
deff fn [24]

We have been given an equation d=0.15t that represents the distance an airplane travels in Miles (d) is related to the time in seconds (t).

A. Upon substituting t=1 in our equation we will get,

d=0.15\times 1

d=0.15

We can see that our plane is travelling at rate of 0.15 miles per second.

\text{Speed of plane }=0.15\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{second}}

Therefore, plane is flying at the rate of 0.15 miles per second.

B. To find distance traveled by airplane in 30 seconds we will substitute t=30 in our given equation.

d=0.15\times 30

d=4.5  

Therefore, plane will travel 4.5 miles in 30 seconds.

C. To find time it will take to travel 12.75 miles we will substitute d=12.75 in our given equation.

d=0.15\times t

12.75=0.15\times t

t=\frac{12.75}{0.15}=85

Therefore, plane will take 85 seconds to travel 12.75 miles.
