Question 870253: Hello, would you help me not to answer the question but tell me what to do to get the answer. Thank you for your time.
Melinda is lying on the beach sunbaking and notices a light aircraft flying overhead. The aircraft is flying at a constant altitude of 1200m.
Melinda observes the plane directly overhead and then 20 seconds later she uses her mobile phone app clinometer and records the angle of elevation to the aircraft is 52�.
Calculate the distance travelled by the plane in 20 seconds. Write your answer to the nearest meter.

Melinda is lying on the beach sunbaking and notices a light aircraft flying overhead. The aircraft is flying at a constant altitude of 1200m.
height of plane , h =1200m
Melinda observes the plane directly overhead and then
20 seconds later the angle of elevation to the aircraft is 52�.
Tan 52 = h/x
x=1200/tan 52 degrees
x= 938 meters
