The given question describes a right triangle with with one of the angles as 20 degrees and the side adjacent to the angle 20 degrees is of length 5,000 feet. We are looking for the length of the side opposite the angle 20 degrees.
Let the required length be x, then
Therefore, the height of the airplane above the tower is 1,819.85 feet.
Remark
You have to complete the square twice. Begin by transferring the 75 to the right hand side. Put separate brackets around the x terms and another set around the y terms.
(x^2 + 10x ) + (y^2 - 16x ) = - 75
(x^2 + 10x + (10/2)^2 ) + (y^2 - 16x + (16/2)^2) = - 75 + (10/2)^2 + (16/2)^2
(x + 5)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = - 75 + 25 + 64
(x + 5)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 14
The center is at (-5,8) which is C
Note: The graph is below just to confirm my answer. Notice where the center is and that the radius is just under 4.
