Given :

Angle of elevation, Ф = 24°.

Distance of Sam from launchpad, D = 5 miles.

To Find :

How high is the rocket.

Solution :

Let, height is h.

We know, tan Ф is given by :

tan \ \phi=\dfrac{h}{d}\\\\tan \ 24^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{5}\\\\h = 5\times tan \ 24^{\circ}\\\\h = 2.226 \ miles

Hence, this is the required solution.

"An angle that forms a linear pair with one of the interior angle the triangle" is the best definition of an exterior angle of a triangle.

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

When to the sum of the inward angles opposite outer angle of a triangle the sum of the inward angles opposite is equivalent thus understood as exterior angle of a triangle.

The Triangle outer angle theorem for more about is if at each vertex the equivalent angle is drawn, the outer angles always add up to 360°. In reality, this is valid for any convex polygon, not just triangles.

In the most easiest pattern , since any angle of triangle equivalent is 60′, the outer angle would be 120′. Therefore all exterior angles sum is:

                     120 + 120 + 120 = 360°.
