Answer 1

Rise: 200.25

Descent 300.2

Minutes

Explanation:

A) We are using the Pythagorean theorem for the climb and descent. (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

For climb a = 200, b = 10 c = ?

200^2 + 10^2 = c^2 = 40000 + 100 = c^2 = 40100 = c^2

c = about 200.25

For the descent: a = 300, b = 10

300²+10² = c²

90000 + 100 = c²

90100 = c²

c = about 300.2

B) If a plane is going 600 km/h and it goes about 10 km that means the plane is only going for 10/600 of an hour.

10/600 is 1/60, so only a couple minutes difference.
