Let's call the missing altitude 'x'.
</span><span>✦ To find the plane's altitude, find the tan of 30 degrees. The side opposite is going to be x, while the side adjacent is going to be 4.4 miles.

Sine (34) = opposite / 99
opposite side = .55919 * 99
opposite side =

<span>
<span>
55.35981

</span>
Adjacent side² = 99² - 55.35981²
Adjacent side² =
