An airplane has begun its descent for a landing. when the airplane is 150 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 32,000 feet. when the airplane is 100 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 14,000 feet. if the airplane's descent is modeled by a linear function, where will the airplane be in relation to the runway when it hits ground level? (to the nearest whole number)
a) airplane will over shoot the runway by 32 miles
b) airplane will over shoot the runway by 61 miles
c) airplane will land short of the runway by 61 miles
d) airplane will land short of the runway by 32 miles

answer: b i think

step-by-step explanation:

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
