Horizontal 83362

The observer sees the plane at an elevation angle of 35° (angle from the horizontal plane). At that moment, the plane reported an altitude of 4 km. How far from the observer is the place over which the aircraft flies?

They circled for hundreds of meters.

Correct answer:

x =  1900 m

Step-by-step explanation:

α=35  h=4 km m=4 1000  m=4000 m  tan α = x:h  x1=h tanα=4000 tan351895.2589 m  x=1900=1900 m
