Answer:

376000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

What's required of this question is to convert the given weight of plane from tons to pounds

Given

$Weight = 188\ tons$

Required

Get pounds equivalent

From standard unit of measurements

$1\ ton = 2000\ pounds$

Multiply both sides by 188

$188 * 1\ ton = 188 * 2000\ pounds$

$188\ tons = 376000\ pounds$

Hence, the weight of the plane in pounds is 376000

We will use tangent here as we are finding the opposite with the adjacent given.

So we can simply just put this into a calculator:

tan(68°) × 7 cm = AC

tan(68°) × 7 cm = 17.3 cm

The bird is 17 feet above the tree.

Explanation:

We need to think of this in terms of right triangles. If Wendy is 60 feet from a tree, the base of the right triangle is 60 feet. The height of the tree is the height of the right triangle. The angle of elevation is the one from the ground at her feet to the top of the tree and then to the bird. Let's start with the top of the tree first.

She's 60 feet away, we have the angle of elevation as 25 degrees, and we are looking for the height of the tree. In regards to the angle, the base of 60 is adjacent, and the height of the tree is opposite. The tangent ratio is height / base.

Let x be the height of the tree.

So,

$tan (25) = \frac{x}{60}$
