Answer:
Altitude of the jet is 10.40km
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation = 8°
Horizontal distance (adjacent to the angle) = 74km
Altitude of the plane (opposite) = ?
Kindly check attached document for better illustration.
To solve this question, we have to use tangent rule since we have adjacent and angle, but no opposite.
Tanθ = opposite / adjacent
θ = 8°
Adjacent = 74km
Opposite = ?
Tan 8 = x / 74
Opposite = 74 * tan8
Opposite = 10.40
The altitude of the jet is 10.40km
