Cool Down: Lift OffShortly after takeoff, an airplane is climbing 250 feet for every 1,000 feet it travels.Estimate the airplane's climb angle while this is happening.Tons of Trianglesadjacentoppositeleghypotenuse leghypotenuseangleoppositeleg + adjacent leg10degrees0.9850.1740.176ะก20degrees09400.342246425030degrees0.8660.5000577B40degrees0.7660.6430.8391000A50degrees0.6430.7661.19260degrees0.5000.8661.73270degrees0.3420.9402.74780degrees0.1740.9855.571

\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=(opposite)/(adjacent) \\ \\ \tan \theta=(250)/(1000) \\ \\ \theta=\tan ^(-1)((250)/(1000)) \\ \\ \theta=14 \\ \text{The climbing angle is 14\degree} \end{gathered}
