When you make a drawing with the instructions, and call x the altitude of the plane and y the distance from the angle 72 ° to the point straight below the plane, you obtain these equations

tan(55°) = x / (2.2 + y)

tan (72°) = x / y

You solve y from the second equation

y = x / tan(72°)

Substitute y in the first equation

tan (55°) = x /(2.2 + x/tan(72°)

Solve for x:

x = tan(55)[2.2 + x/tan(72) ]

x = tan(55) (2.2) + x tan(55)/tan(72)

x - x tan (55)/tan(72) = 2.2 tan (55)

Now substitute the values of the tangents

tan (55) = 1.4281
tan(72) = 3.0777

x - 0.464x = 3.1419

x = 3.1419 / (1-0.464) =5.86 m

Ah ... it is a toy plane! I guess.

Natalija [7]
First year:
.3 x 2593 = 777.9

$2593 - $777.90 = $1815.10

Second year:
.3 x 1815.10 = 544.53

$1815.10 - $544.53 = $1270.57

Third year:
.3 x 1270.57 = <span>381.171

$1270.57 - $381.171 = $</span>889.39900

$889.39900 rounded to the nearest hundredth is $889.40
