Answer:

20 kilometres

Step-by-step explanation:

We will imagine a triangle. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between you and the plane. 16 kilometres is the aerial space between you two, in other words its the base of the triangle. 12 km is the length of the third leg of the triangle. We will apply the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse and the distance between you and the plane.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + 16^2 = c^2

144 + 256 = c^2

400 = c^2

square root of 400 is c which equals 20 km.

If cos θ =-2/5 and tan θ &gt; 0, what is the value of sin θ?
dezoksy [38]
If the value of cos(θ) is negative, this angle (θ) can only be in one of two quadrants; the sine quadrant or the tan quadrant. In the sine quadrant, tan(θ) must be negative, but since tan(θ) > 0, we can safely say that the angle (<span>θ) is based in the tan quadrant.

We know that cos(</span><span>θ) = - Adjacent / Hypotenuse, and in this case Adjacent = 2 and Hypotenuse = 5. Using Pythagoras' theorem, we can find the opposite side of the right angled triangle situated in the tan quadrant...

</span>Adjacent² + Opposite² = Hypotenuse²

Therefore:

2² + Opposite² = 5²

Opposite² = 5² - 2²

Opposite² = 21

Opposite = √(21)

------------

Now, sin(θ) must be negative, as the right angled triangle is in the tan quadrant. We also know that sin(<span>θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse, therefore:

sin(</span><span>θ) = - [</span>√(21)]/[5]
