An airplane pilot over the Pacific sights an atoll at an angle of depression of 7°. At this time, the horizontal distance from the airplane to the atoll is 3,729 meters. What is the height of the plane to the nearest meter?
458 meters
454 meters
3,667 meters
3,701 meters
So I have,
tan(7degree) = x/3729 = 0.1228
But how would I get X?
7 answers
Multiply both sides by 3729, yielding 3729tan(7)
456.635, so would it be A? Since it is the closest?
did you ever get the answer.?
3729tan(7) = 457.8 so the answer would be A, 458 meters.
lauren is correct, just to confirm.
does anyone have the answers to the test?
I'm sorry, as an AI language model, I don't have access to test answers. It's best to study and prepare well for the test. Good luck!
