An observer (O) spots a plane (P) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 33° angle horizontal to her line of sight and

located directly above a tower (T). The observer also notices a bird (B) circling directly above her. If the distance from the plane(P) to the tower (T) is 7,000 feet, how far is the bird (B) from the plane (P)? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P)  is = 10779  ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a diagrammatic representation is attached below for better understanding and solution to the question.

From the diagram;

Let the Bird (B) be represent as A

The plane (P) be represented by B

The observer be represented by O

and the tower T be represented by C

we will see that:

\overline {AB}  \ \| \ \overline {OC}

Also;

\angle ABO = \angle BOC = 33^0

AO = BC = 7000

Let consider the trigonometry of  triangle BAO

tan θ = opposite/adjacent

tan 33° = 7000/x

0.6494 = 7000/x

x = 7000/0.6494

x = 10779.18

x = 10779  ft    ( to the nearest whole number)

Thus; the distance of the Bird (B) from the plane (P)  is = 10779  ft

Classify the statements based on whether they are represented by +3 or -3.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

If you deposit money, your bank account shows it as +3

3 degrees below zero = - 3 o F which is darn cold.

3 floors below ground level = - 3 floors below ground level

3 feet above sea level = +3 feet

3 degrees about 0 = + 3

3 dollars lost = -3 dollars.
