Answer:  The plane is 6,547 feet from the closer edge of the runway.

This is a trigonometry problem that will involve setting up 2 different triangles. One going to the closer edge of the runway and the other going to the far end of the runway.

The constant between the 2 triangles is the height of the plane. You can solve for this is both triangles and set them equal to each other. 

Do that will give you the equation:

x/tan(70) = (x+3000)/tan(76) where x is the distance to the closer end of the runway. 

If you solve that equation, you will get x = 6547 feet.

What is the height of a
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram can be found using:

a=bh

We know that the base is 7 meters, and the area is 84 square meters. Therefore, we can substitute 7 in for b, and 84 in for a.

84=7h

We want to find the height. To do this, we have to get h by itself. Since h is being multiplied by 7, divide both sides by 7.

84/7=7h/7

12=h

So, the height is 12 meters
