Answer:

2.2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x be the distance between runway and the airplane, where plane start the approach.

We have been given that to approach the runway, a pilot of a small plane must begin a 10° descent starting from a height of 1983 feet above the ground.

We can see from our attachment that angle DAC is equal to angle BCA (by alternate interior angles).

Side length AB is opposite side and x is hypotenuse for our given angle. Since Sine represents the relation between the hypotenuse and opposite of right triangle, so we will use sine to find the length of x.

\text{Sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

\text{Sin}(10^o)=\frac{1983}{x}

x=\frac{1983}{\text{Sin}(10^o)}

x=\frac{1983}{0.173648177667}

x=11419.6418680692448271

Since length of x is in feet, let us convert our answer into miles.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

Let us divide length of x by 5280 to get our answer in miles.

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271\text{ feet}}{\frac{5280\text{ feet}}{\text{miles}}}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271\text{ feet}}{5280}\times \frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ feet}}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=\frac{11419.6418680692448271}{5280}\times \text{ miles}

11419.6418680692448271\text{ Feet}=2.162810959\text{ miles}\approx 2.2\text{ miles}

Therefore, the distance between the runway and the airplane where it start this approach is 2.2 miles.

a number which means "x" or u can name any variable u want

so the product of a number and four means

X×4

the increased by one or plus one

X×4+1

is at least 7

X(4)+1=7

4x+1=7

4x=7-1

4x=6

x=4/6

i guess so

lemme know if I'm right
