Answer:

20 km

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.

A triangle has interior angles equal to 55, 70 and x. What is the value of X?
podryga [215]


The answer is C. 55

You get your answer by adding together the degrees of the angles you know 55+70

That equals 125 degrees and subtract that from 180 degrees

180-125= 55
