An airplane takes off from the ground and reaches a height of 500 feet after flying 2 miles. given the formula h = d tan θ, where h is the height of the plane and d is the distance (along the ground) the plane has flown, find the angle of ascent θ at which the plane took off.

Height covered by the plane=h= 500 feet

Distance covered by the plane along the ground=d= 2 mile

Now, convert the mile into feet,

1 mile = 5280 feet

2 mile = 10560 feet

Now, use the formula

h= d tanθ

tanθ= h/d

tanθ= 500/10560

tanθ= 25/528

Take the tan⁻¹ on both side,

θ= tan⁻¹(25/528)

θ =2.71°

all the angles opposite to the angle 150 would be 150 and all the angles that are next to 150 are 30 because they equal 180 it you add it up.
