Question

An airplane climbs at an angle of 16° with the ground. Find the ground

Answer 1

Answer:

2403.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We get the length of the hypotenuse, and the base angle. To find the length of the base, we use the cosine of 16° since it is equal to the adjacent side length/ hypotenuse side length or cos 16°= x/2500. The isolate x by multiplying both sides by 2500. The cos 16° is around 0.96126, multiplied by 2500 (cos 16°(2500)) = 2403.1
