Question 128277: A plane flying over Albuquerque at an elevation of 33,000ft begins its descent to land at Santa Fe 50 miles away. If the elevation of Santa Fe is 7000ft what should the slope of descent expressed as a percent? Id really appreciate it if someone could help me. Thanks
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A plane flying over Albuquerque at an elevation of 33,000ft begins its descent to land at Santa Fe 50 miles away. If the elevation of Santa Fe is 7000ft what should the slope of descent expressed as a percent?
--------------------------
1 mile = 5280 feet
slope = 33000/(50*5280) = 0.125 = 12.5%
