Answer:
Rise: 200.25
Descent 300.2
Minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We are using the Pythagorean theorem for the climb and descent. (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
For climb a = 200, b = 10 c = ?
200^2 + 10^2 = c^2 = 40000 + 100 = c^2 = 40100 = c^2
c = about 200.25
For the descent: a = 300, b = 10
300²+10² = c²
90000 + 100 = c²
90100 = c²
c = about 300.2
B) If a plane is going 600 km/h and it goes about 10 km that means the plane is only going for 10/600 of an hour.
10/600 is 1/60, so only a couple minutes difference.
