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

\n" );
