1. To approach the runway, a small plane must begin a 6° descent starting from a height of 1000 feet above the ground. To the nearest foot, how many feet from the runway is the airplane at the start of this approach?

The plane was 9514 ft. distant from the runway.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Now, B is the initial position of the plane which is 1000 ft. above A.

Now, Δ ABC is a right triangle having ∠ ACB = 6°

So, applying trigonometry, we can write

⇒ x = 9514.36 ≈ 9514 ft.

Therefore, the plane was 9514 ft. distant from the runway. (Answer)

you never say the total so we cant find the percentage used for petrol

step-by-step explanation:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
