Question 606419
an airplane travel at 300 mph is descending at an angle of depression of 6 degrees.
 How many miles will the plane descend in 2 minute
:
Find how many miles the plane will travel in 2 min a 300 mph
{{{2/60}}}*300 = 10 mi
:
use the sine of 6 degrees, side opposite is the vertical dist (a) of descent
Sin(6) = {{{a/10}}} * 5280 = 5519.1 ft descent
