You work isn't correct.
2 min= 1/30 hr
horizontal distance=150km/hr*1/30 hr*cos20
vertical distance=150km/hr*1/30 hr*sin20
An airplane whose speed is 150km/hr climbs from a runway at an angle of 20° above the horizontal. What is its altitude two minutes after takeoff? How many kilometers does it travel in a horizontal direction during this two minute period?
My work:
150cos(20) = 140.9
150sin(20) = 51.3
Unfortunately, that wasn't the right answer. Please help!
