Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let

the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.




We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is

.
Answer:
193.53 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,
Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees
The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees
Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.
We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.
In the diagram, this is the line AC.
Applying Law of Cosines:

The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).
Answer:
D. 5(x^2+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x^2+25
Viewing the two terms 5 is divisible by both
5X^2/5 +25/5
X^2+5
Therefore the equation will be represented by
5(x^2+5)
