Answer:

2.3 degrees.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We are told that an airplane must clear a 60-foot pole at the end of a runway 500 yards long.

Let us convert 500 yards to feet.

1 yard= 3 feet.

500 yards= 3*500 feet= 1500 feet.

We can see from our attachment pole and runway are in form of a right triangle. The pole is opposite to angle of elevation of plane and length of runway is adjacent.

Since tangent represents the relation between opposite and adjacent of right triangle, So we will use tangent to find angle of elevation that plane must ascend to clear the pole.  

tan(\theta)=\frac{60}{1500}    

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{60}{1500} )

\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.04)

\theta=2.290610042639

Therefore, the airplane must ascend 2.3 degrees to clear the pole.

What is the probability from a two way table ?
vladimir1956 [14]
You may remember the two way relative frequency table where each entry in the table is divided by a total from the table. When each cell is divided by the table total (in this case 240), you get a two way whole table relative frequency. (There are also row and column relative frequency tables.)
