An airplane pilot over the Pacific sights an atoll at an angle of depression of 5 . At this time, the horizontal distance from t
he airplane to the atoll is 4629 meters. What is the height of the plane to the nearest meter?
1 answer:
Answer:
404.98 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of depression is 5°
The horizontal distance from the airplane to the atoll is 4629 meters.
We need to find the height of the plane.
If we consider a triangle. 4629 meters will be the base and angle is 5°. Let h is the height of the plane. Using trigonometry to find it :

So, the height of the plane is 404.98 m.

14 /1770. that's it if that's what ya needed.
M-7<6
add 7 to each side
M-7 +7 < 6+7
M < 13
this is true for all values of M less than 13
