An aircraft has a glide ratio of 12 to 1. (Glide ratio means that the plane drops 1 m in each 12 m it travels horizontally.) A building 45 m high lies directly in the glide path to the runway. If the aircraft dears the building by 12 m, how far from the building does the aircraft touch down on the runway

540 meters of flight before the plane touches down.

The aircraft is 12 meters higher than the building so it is at 45 + 12 = 57 meters high.

For every 12 meters it travels it drops 1 m.

Divide the height by 12 to find the distance it travels:

57 / 12 = 4.75

It touches down 4.75 meters from the building.

the inner core.
