Answer: 42.21 km
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this using trigonometry, since we have the following data:
is the the angle of elevation
is the horizontal distance between the plane and the radar station
is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed between the radar station and the airplane
Now, the trigonometric function that will be used is <u>cosine</u>:
because 
is the adjacent side of the right triangle
Finding :
16.76 rounds off to 17
After the dot if it’s 1-4 then they it would’ve been 15
5-9 is 17
Answer:
The height is 12.9m
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to find the distance from the corner of the flag to the opposite corner, for this we will use Pythagoras
In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides
h² = s1² + s2²
h² = 10² + 20²
h² = 100 + 400
h² = 500
h = √500
h = 22.36
Now that we know this measurement we can calculate the height of the flagpole
well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse
α = 30
a: adjacent = 22.36
o: opposite = ?
h: hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
cos α= a/h
tan α = o/a
we see that it has (angle, adjacent, opposite)
is the tangent
tan α = o/a
tan 30 = o/22.36
tan30 * 22.36 = o
12.9 = o
The height is 12.9m
Step-by-step explanation:
It is (A)95° by using External Angle Property of triangles.
BTW whats up with that order C-D-B-A
