Hale wants John to prove his Christianity, and his loyalty to God. In a chaotic time, driven by the hysteria of witchcraft, Hale and the court want to eliminate those reached out to by the Devil. However, as John has not been to Church for a long period of time, he evidently cannot name all 10, and falls on 'Thou shall not commit Adultery'- ironic, as he broke this very commandment.
The angle given illustrates that the altitude computed in this scenario will be 497.5 feet.
<h3>How to calculate the altitude</h3>
From the information given, the jet flying overhead extends from one end to the other an angle of 50° and the length of the jet is 250 feet.
Let the altitude be represented by x.
Therefore, the altitude will be:
Tan 50° = opposite/hypotenuse
1.1918 = x/250
x = 1.1918 × 250
x = 497.5 feet
Therefore, the altitude is 497.5 feet.
