The angle given illustrates that the altitude computed in this scenario will be 497.5 feet.
<h3>How to calculate the altitude</h3>
From the information given, the jet flying overhead extends from one end to the other an angle of 50° and the length of the jet is 250 feet.
Let the altitude be represented by x.
Therefore, the altitude will be:
Tan 50° = opposite/hypotenuse
1.1918 = x/250
x = 1.1918 × 250
x = 497.5 feet
Therefore, the altitude is 497.5 feet.
