2 Technology Required A Plane Leaves The Ground With An Elevation Angle Of 6 Degrees The Plane Travels 10 Miles Horizontally A How High Is The Plane At The Time class=

Sagot :

The height of the plane at that time is 1.1 miles

The distance of the plane's path is 10.1 miles

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

Using trigonometric ratio,

tan 6° = opposite / adjacent

The height of the plane is the opposite side of the triangle. The adjacent

side is the distance travelled horizontally. Therefore,

tan 6° = h / 10

cross multiply

h = 10 tan 6°

h = 10 × 0.10510423526

h = 1.05104235266

height of the plane at that time = 1.1 miles

The distance of the plane path is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed.

Therefore,

c² = a² + b²

c² = 10² + 1.1²

c = √101.21

c = 10.0603180864

c = 10.1  miles

plane's path = 10.1 miles
