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.
Therefore, the airplane must ascend 2.3 degrees to clear the pole.
The image is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
x = 56.44°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached image, we can see that this is a right angle triangle which has opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse as sides. Since we want to find the angle x, thus, we can make use of trigonometric ratios.
From the attached image, the side opposite to angle x is 10ft and the hypotenuse is 12 ft.
From trigonometric ratios, we know that, sin x = opposite/hypotenuse
So, sin x = 10/12
x = sin^(-1) (10/12)
x = sin^(-1) 0.8333
x = 56.44°
