Answer:

The angle of depression is 18.0°

Explanation:

From the question the flight path of the plane is a right angle triangle where the height is 650meters and the length is 2km

Converting 2km to meters gives 2000meters

Therefore the angle of depression = Tan^-1(650/2000)

Angle of depression = Tan^-1(0.325) = 18.0°

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The area of a circle is given b

A=πr²

Then,

dA/dr= 2πr

Also give that,

dr/dt=30m/hr, r=100m

We want to find dA/dt

dA/dt=dA/dr×dr/dt

dA/dt= 2πr × 30

dA/dt= 2 ×π ×100×30

dA/dt=18849.56m²/s.

The rate of the area is 18849.56m²/s
