Question

I have no clue how to do this math using the diagram: 3.) At this point, the plane started descending. As the plane turned, it’s altitude dropped from 3060 feet to 1650 feet above ground level. Calculate the angle of descent if the plane traveled 0.5 miles (c). (Note: the difference in altitude is 1390 feet)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

.5miles = 2640 ft

tan a = 2640/1390

a - angle of descent

a = 62.22
