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 :

\tan\theta=\dfrac{x}{4629 }\\\\\tan(5)=\dfrac{x}{4629 }\\\\x=\tan(5)\times 4629 \\\\x=404.98\ m

So, the height of the plane is 404.98 m.

Please help it’s easy, State the property that is used. 10=10•1
Molodets [167]

The property identity of multiplication is applied in the given statement.

<h3>Properties of Multiplication</h3>

The properties of multiplication are:

  • Distributive:  a(b±c)=  ab±ac
  • Comutative:   a . b = b. a
  • Associative:    a(b+c)=  c(a+b)
  • Identity: b.1=b

From the property identity, you know that the product between any number by the number 1 equals that number. Example: 3 • 1=3.

The question shows 10=10•1. Like, it was shown previously, this occurs due to the identity property of multiplication.
