Question part points submissions used an airplane flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet passes directly over a fixed object on the ground. one minute later, the angle of depression of the object is 37°.

tan(37)=40,000/x

x= 40,000/tan(37)

x= 53081.8

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)

c. (3,2,6) is the answer.
