Answer: Height= 0.019km
Step-by-step explanation:
Things to consider;
The distance of the jet at the angle 0.5°
The vertical distance of the jet from the ground
The horizontal distance of the jet
Using imaginary lines these three components will form a right angle triangle which provides us valuable information in calculating the height of the jet from the ground.
Using the formulae: Sine of an angle= opposite side/ hypotenuse side
Where the opposite side is the side opposite to the angle 0.5 which is the height of the jet.
The hypotenuse side is the distance of the jet at the angle 0.5
Therefore, Sine 0.5= height/ 2.2km
Height = Sine 0.5×2.2
Height = 0.0087×2.2= 0.019km
Hence the height is 0.019km
