Question

a pilot is flying at 10,000 feet and wants to take the plane up to 20,000 feet over the next 50 miles. what should be his angle of elevation to the nearest

Answer 1

The angle of elevation is 2.17°

Step-by-step explanation:

First change value in miles to value in feet

1 mile =5280 ft

50 miles = 5280*50 =264000 ft

Apply the formula for tangent of an angle where the opposite side is 10,000 ft and the adjacent side is 264000 ft

Tan Ф = O/A

          = 10,000/264000

           =0.03787878787

Tan ⁻(0.03787878787) = 2.17°
