In 22, you're looking for the vertical height of the triangle. You're given the angle opposite the side you want to find (which I'll call

) and the length of the hypotenuse. This sets you up with the relation

In 23, you're given a similar situation, except now you're looking for the angle (I'll call it

) in the triangle opposite the side denoting the height of the airplane. So this time,
Are 6 and 15 the legs of the triangle?
y = 8
x = 575
We want to solve for b in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
To complete this problem, we need the value of m, the slope. If you know m, then just plug into y = mx + b this way:
8 = 575m + b
