A pilot needs to know if a plane with clear the tower. The plane will travel 1300 yards before lifting off the ground to travel another 705 yards after which point the plane will
be directly over the tower. If the plane had continued on the runway, it is another 700
yards to the control tower, which is 250 feet high
Which statement best describes how to determine if the plane clears the tower?
Use the Pythagorean Theorem where the distance to the tower is a les of the right triangle and
the height of the tower is the other leg. Verity that these equal the exact distance in the air. It
not exactly the same, the plane does not clear the tower
Use the Pythagorean Theorem where the distance to the tower is a leg of the right triangle and
the distance in the air is the hypotenuse. Find the other leg. Convert to feet to compare to the
tower height
Use the Pythagorean Theorem where the distance to the tower plus the distance the plane
travels on the ground is a leg of the right triangle and the distance in the air is the hypotenuse
Find the other leg. Convert to feet to compare to the tower height
