A plane is approaching an aircraft carrier at 25° angle of elevation from 3.2 miles away how far above sea level is the plane

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

$Height\approx 1.35\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation $=25\textdegree$

It is $3.2\ miles$ away from the point.

If we imagine a right triangle having an angle $25\textdegree$ .

Hypotenuse $=3.2$ , Opposite=Height from sea level $(h)$

$\sin 25=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\\sin 25=\frac{h}{3.2}\\\\h=3.2\times \sin 25\\\\h=3.2\times 0.4226\\\\h=1.3524\approx 1.35\ miles$

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're looking for direct correlation, you're looking for a proportion for the second box. So you set the ratio of 2.5:5.5 up as a fraction. 2.5/5.5 and set it equal to the second box 3/x.

2.5 = 3

5.5 x

cross multiply

16.5=2.5x

and divide

16.5/2.5 and you get your answer
