In order to safely land, the angle that a plane approaches the runway should be no more than 15°. A plane is approaching Ottawa

Macdonald–Cartier International Airport to land. It is at an altitude of 500 m and a horizontal distance of 3 km from the start of the runway. At what angle is the plane approaching and is it safe for the plane to land?

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9.5°, yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The distance opposite the angle of elevation is the plane's height, 500 m. The distance adjacent to the angle of elevation is the horizontal distance to the plane, 3 km = 3000 m. Then the angle is found from ...

  tan(α) = 500/3000 = 1/6

  α = arctan(1/6) ≈ 9.46°

The plane is approaching at an angle of 9.46°. It is safe to land, since that angle is less than 15°.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The usual descent angle for most commercial air traffic is 3°. Some airport geography demands it be different (steeper). A higher descent angle can put undue stress on the landing gear.

n^{16} and 9 are the squares of, respectively, n^8 and 3.

So, using

a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

we have

n^{16}-9=(n^8+3)(n^8-3)

How do you tell if a number is divisible by 8
eimsori [14]
If the number is a multiple of 8, it is divisible by 8.
The multiples of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88... etc.

If a number is very big, let's say 176, see if you can deduct 80 from it. For this, 176 can be deducted by 80 twice, which will give you a remainder of 16 (I.e. 176 - 80 - 80 = 16". If this remainder (i.e. 16) is divisible by 8, 176 is divisible by 8.

For even larger numbers, try deducting 800, or even 8000.

Let's say you're trying to see if 2464 is divisible by 8. In this case, 2464 can be deducted by 800 thrice (I.e. 2464 - 800 - 800 - 800 = 64), and 64 is its remainder. Since 64 is divisible by 8, 2464 is divisible by 8.

Hope this helps! :)
