Answer: the horizontal distance travelled is 2352 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the airplane, the horizontal distance that it travelled and the angle, θ formed with the ground combine to form a right angle triangle.

The horizontal distance that it travelled represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

The altitude that it reached represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. To determine the horizontal distance that it has travelled, h, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio which is expressed

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side

Therefore,

Tan 12 = 500/h

h = 500/Tan 12 = 500/0.2126

h = 2352 feet

Angles are

  • 180-80=100°
  • x+5=40+5=45°
  • x-5=40-5=35°

When two fractions are between 0 and half how do you know which fraction is greater explain
nevsk [136]
To know which fraction is greater than another is to first look at the denominator 

<u>example</u>
\frac{1}{5} > \frac{1}{8}

if u look at the denominator the one with the highest denominator is the smallest and then you look at the numerator to imagine if its closer to the denominator or farther away from the denominator.
