Answer:

540.6 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression = angle of elevation = 6°

Let x = the distance to the runway.

tan 6 = 30000/x

xtan 6 = 30000

x = 30000/tan 6 =285430.9 ft

285430.9336.../5280 = 540.6 mi

____ [38]

Answer: 70 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the figure attached.

The distance between the walls is:

$DE=AD+AE$

<em />

Both triangles are right triangles. Therefore, you can calculate the distance between the walls as following:

- Calculate the distance AD:

$cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(60\°)=\frac{AD}{60}\\AD=30m$

- Calculate the distance AE:

$tan\beta =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\\\\tan(45\°)=\frac{40}{AE}\\\\AE=\frac{40}{tan(45\°)}\\\\AE=40m$

Therefore the distance between the walls is:

$DE=30m+40m=70m$
