an observer (o) spots a plane (p) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 29° angle horizontal to her line of sight and located directly above a tower (t). the observer also notices a bird (b) circling directly above her. if the distance from the plane (p) to the tower (t) is 6,000 ft., how far is the bird (b) from the plane (p)? round to the nearest whole number.
a)6857
b)10,824
c)12,371
d)22,063

ANSWER

B)10,824

EXPLANATION

The distance of the bird from the plane is represented by x in the diagram.

From triangle OBP, we use the tangent ratio to obtain:

When we round to the nearest whole number we obtain,

x=10824 units.

The correct choice is B.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
