Example:
Fasten your seatbelts A small plane takes off from an airport and rises uniformly at an angle of 4°30’ with the horizontal ground. After it has traveled over a horizontal distance of 600m, what is the altitude of the plane to the nearest meter?
x
600m
4°30’

Solution:
Let x = the altitude of the plane as it travels 600m horizontallySince we have the values of an acute angle and its adjacent side, we will use x
