Height covered by the plane=h= 500 feet
Distance covered by the plane along the ground=d= 2 mile
Now, convert the mile into feet,
1 mile = 5280 feet
2 mile = 10560 feet
Now, use the formula
h= d tanθ
tanθ= h/d
tanθ= 500/10560
tanθ= 25/528
Take the tan⁻¹ on both side,
θ= tan⁻¹(25/528)
θ =2.71°
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
We require to solve for n, hence
n(n + 1) = 325
multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction
n(n + 1) = 650
n² + n = 650
subtract 650 from both sides to have equation in standard form
n² + n - 650 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 26)(n - 25) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 26 = 0 ⇒ n = - 26
n - 25 = 0 ⇒ n = 25
however, n > 0 ⇒ n = 25
