Answer:

38feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Length of the string = 40feet (hypotenuse)

Angle of elevation = 71 degrees

Required

Height of the kite (opposite)

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin 71 = H/40

H = 40sin 71

H = 40(0.9455)

H = 37.82

Hence the kite is 38feet high (to the nearest whole number)

Mr. Smith is flying his single-engine plane at an altitude of 2400 feet. He sees a cornfield at an angle of depression of 30º. W
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Height of the fighter plane =1.5km=1500 m

Speed of the fighter plane, v=720km/h=200 m/s

Let be the angle with the vertical so that the shell hits the plane. The situation is shown in the given figure.

Muzzle velocity of the gun, u=600 m/s

Time taken by the shell to hit the plane =t

Horizontal distance travelled by the shell =u

x

t

Distance travelled by the plane =vt

The shell hits the plane. Hence, these two distances must be equal.

u

t=vt

u Sin θ=v

Sin θ=v/u

=200/600=1/3=0.33

θ=Sin

(0.33)=19.50

In order to avoid being hit by the shell, the pilot must fly the plane at an altitude (H) higher than the maximum height achieved by the shell for any angle of launch.
