Answer:

Plane B is closer.

The distance for Plane A is 7.9 km.

The distance for Plane B is 7.4 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance to the tower, altitude must be converted to kilometers. Each 1000 ft is 0.3048 km, so the heights of the planes are ...

-- Plane A: (20 thousand ft)*(0.3048 km/thousand ft) = 6.096 km

-- Plane B: (8 thousand ft)*(0.3048 km/thousand ft) = 2.4384 km

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the distance from each plane to the tower:

-- distance = √((ground distance)² + (height)²)

-- Plane A distance = √(5² +6.096²) ≈ √62.16 ≈ 7.9 . . . km

-- Plane B distance = √(7² +2.4384²) ≈ √54.95 ≈ 7.4 . . . km

The distance for Plane B is shorter, so Plane B is closer to the tower.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]
81-1= 80
80 / 2 = 40
D = 40
So:
40(2) = 81 - 1

12 pts? Harris and Annabelle are 200 feet apart, and they are standing on opposite sides of a tree. The angles of elevation from
Sergio [31]
If we are to connect the root of the tree to a person to the top of the tree, we form two right triangles. If we let x and and 200 - x be the distance of Harris and Annabelle from the tree, respectively and h be the height, we form the trigonometric functions,
                                       tan 30° = h/x
                                       tan 35° = h/(200 - x)
The values of h and x in the equations are 63.28 ft and 109.62 ft, respectively. Thus, the answer to this item is approximately 63.28 ft.
