Question

A jet climbs at a steady rate at an angle of inclination of 0.5 degree during game off what will its he height be after a 2.2 km initial ascent at this angle

Answer 1

A right triangle will be formed with 2.2 km as the hypotenuse, 0.5 degrees as the angle, and an unknown height (see attachment).

Recall the trigonmetric ratios sine, cosine, and tangent that can be used for right triangles.
Sinθ = opposite side/hypotenuse
Cosθ = adjacent side/hypotenuse
tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side
θ (theta) refers to the angle (not the right angle). In this case, θ is the given angle of 0.5°.

In this problem, you will use sine because there is a side opposite to the angle (the unknown side h) and the hypotenuse, and sine relates those two sides.

Let the variable h represent the unknown opposite side, the height.
sin(0.5°) = h / (2.2km)
h = (2.2km)sin(0.5°)
h = 0.019 km
