Apilot is flying over a straight highway. he determines
theangles of depression to two miles posts, 5 miles apart, to
be32o and 48o.
a.) find the distance of the plane from point a
b.) find the elevation of the plane.

a) 3.77 miles

b) 2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Sines:

a) The distance of the plane from point A

The angle of depression corresponds to the congruent angle of elevation therefore, 180-28-52 = 100°

 miles

b) Elevation of the plane

hypotenuse is 3.77 and opposite is the elevation(h) to be found
