Answer:

height ≈ 178.3 m

Explanation:

∠ ACB = 27° ( alternate angles )

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan27° =
(opposite)/(adjacent) =
(AB)/(BC) =
(AB)/(350) ( multiply both sides by 350 )

350 × tan27° = AB , then

AB ≈ 178.3 ( to 1 dec. place )

The height of the plane is approximately 178.3 m
