The situation is represented by a drawing with a right triangle where an airplane is at the top corner, the elevation angle (opposite to the airplane) is 70°, the height (vertical leg) is x, and the adjacent leg (horizontal leg) to the 70° angle is 800.

Then, to find the height x, which is the opposite leg to the angle, you can use the tangent ratio, which is opposite leg divided by adjacent leg:

tan(x) = opposite leg / adjacent leg => tan(70°) = x / 800

Answer: tan(70°) = x / 800

Which number is an irrational number

allochka39001 [22]

Hi there! The answer is C.

An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a fraction.

A, B and D can be written as a fraction.
A. 3.5 = 3 1 / 2
B. square root of 36 = 6 = 6 / 1
D. 37 / 100 is already a fraction.

Hence, the only number that cannot be written as a fraction is the square root of 48.

$\sqrt{48} = 6.928...$

The answer is C: the square root of 48 is an irrational number.
