I'm pretty sure you can just use a Cartesian plane and since all of your points are (positive, positive) they'd all be in the First Quadrant (top right)

Answer:
9.5°, yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant trig relation is ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
The distance opposite the angle of elevation is the plane's height, 500 m. The distance adjacent to the angle of elevation is the horizontal distance to the plane, 3 km = 3000 m. Then the angle is found from ...
tan(α) = 500/3000 = 1/6
α = arctan(1/6) ≈ 9.46°
The plane is approaching at an angle of 9.46°. It is safe to land, since that angle is less than 15°.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The usual descent angle for most commercial air traffic is 3°. Some airport geography demands it be different (steeper). A higher descent angle can put undue stress on the landing gear.
Answer:
x = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = 128
x = 64
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6 in to 13 ft = 9 in to x ft
6 / 13 = 9 / x.....cross multiply because this is a proportion
(6)(x) = (13)(9)
6x = 117
x = 117/6
x = 19.5 (or 19 1/2) ft <====
Answer:
107.20 euros.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount she had initially be x euros.
Then we have the equation:
x - 0.40x - 0.35x = 26.80
x - 0.75x = 26.80
0.25x = 25.80
Multiply both sides by 4:-
x = 107.20 euros.
