The most cited professional who uses geometry is the air traffic controller. This professional needs to calculate routes, distances and times traveled in order to avoid accumulation of aircraft at the time of landing, for example.
Since 17 isnt a factor of 42 the only factor is 1
Height covered by the plane=h= 500 feet
Distance covered by the plane along the ground=d= 2 mile
Now, convert the mile into feet,
1 mile = 5280 feet
2 mile = 10560 feet
Now, use the formula
h= d tanθ
tanθ= h/d
tanθ= 500/10560
tanθ= 25/528
Take the tan⁻¹ on both side,
θ= tan⁻¹(25/528)
θ =2.71°
