A plane takes off 500 feet away from a tower. The plane takes off at an angle of

elevation of 20°. In its path is the tower of 200 feet.
Will the plane clear the height of the tower? (yes/no)


How many feet (to the nearest foot) will the plane either clear or be short of the
tower. Enter a positive value if the distance represents how far over the tower the
plane will fly. Enter a negative distance if the distance represents how much lower
the plane will be than the tower.

Answer:Taking off: 2

Flying: 3

Landing: 4

Landing well enough you can use the plane again: 5

Landing well enough that your passengers will fly with you again: 6

Having the judgement and strength of character to say “I know I promised we'd fly home today, but the weather is bad so we're going to have to wait a day and miss that thing you wanted to go to”: 10
