<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
He would need to climb 480.97 m
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The ground, the plane to climb and the altitude (100 m) all form a right-angled triangle
Therefore, we can apply the special trig functions.
<u>These functions are as follows:</u>
sin(θ) =
cos(θ) =
tan(θ) =
<u>From the diagram, we have:</u>
θ = 12°
The distance that he needs to climb is the hypotenuse
The altitude = 100 m is the opposite
<u>Therefore, we can use the sin function as follows:</u>
sin(12°) =
hypotenuse =
hypotenuse = 480.97 meters to the nearest hundredth
Therefore, he would need to climb 480.97 meters
Hope this helps :)
