Question

Katie is watching a helicopter flying at an altitude of 5 miles. If the angle of elevation is 3, the distance between Katie and the helicopter is
approximately miles.

Answer 1

Point of correction, the angle of elevation is pi/3

Answer:

5.774 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

$Sin (\frac {\pi}{3})=\frac {5}{Hypotenuse}$

$Hypotenuse= \frac {5}{Sin (\frac {\pi}{3})}\approx 5.774 miles$

The hypotenuse is the distance between Katie and the helicopter hence 5.774 miles
