Question

43. A plane's altitude is 3,000 ft. For the pilot, the angle of depression of the base of a

control tower is 15 degrees. To the nearest foot, what is the distance from the pilot to
the base of the control tower?
a. 3,106 ft
b. 11,591 ft
c. 11,198 ft.
d. 4,346 ft

Answer 1

`\tan 15^(\circ)=(3000)/(x)\\\\x=(3000)/(\tan 15^(\circ))\\\\x \approx 11196`
