Answer:

Altitude of the plane is 0.5 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

An airplane A is at height h miles observes a small airstrip at D and a factory at F, 4.8 miles apart from D.

Angle of depressions for the airstrip is 13.1° and the factory is 4.1°.

We have to calculate the airplane's altitude h.

From ΔABF,

tan4.1 = \frac{AB}{BF}=\frac{h}{(x+4.8)}

h = 0.07168(x + 4.8) -----(1)

From ΔABD,

tan13.1 = \frac{h}{x}

h = 0.2327x -----(2)

From equation (1) and (2),

0.07168(x + 4.8) = 0.2327x

0.2327x - 0.07168x = 4.8×0.07168

0.161x = 0.344

x = \frac{0.344}{0.161}=2.14 miles

From equation (2),

h = 0.2327×2.137

h = 0.4972 miles

h ≈ 0.5 miles

Therefore, 0.5 miles is the altitude of the plane.

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • w= 6 units
  • h= 6 units
  • l= 10 units
<h3>Note that:</h3>
  • w: width
  • h: height
  • l: length
<h3>To find:</h3>
  • The volume of the given triangular prism.
<h3>Solution:</h3>
  • Triangular prism is a 3 sided prism with same area of cross section with 2 triangular bases.

\large\boxed{Formula: V= \frac{wl}{2}×h}

Let's solve!

First, let's multiply width and height.

6×6

= 36

Now, we'll have to divide the answer by 2.

\frac{36}{2}

= 18

Then, multiply the answer by length.

18×10

\large\boxed{V= 180 \: {units}^{3}}

<u>Hence</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>volume</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>given</u><u> </u><u>triangular</u><u> </u><u>prism</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>cubic</u><u> </u><u>units</u><u>.</u>
