An airplane flying at an altitude of 30,000 feet is headed toward an airport. To guide the airplane to a safe landing, the airports landing system sends radar signals from the runway to the airplane at a 10 degree angle of elevation. How far is the airplane (measured along the ground) from the airport runway?

Respuesta :

Answer:

170138.45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the attached photo, we want to calculate x

tan(10)=[tex]\frac{30000}{x}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{30000}{tan(10)}[/tex] = 170138.45 feet
