Ahelicopter flying 1600 feet above ground spots an airplane flying above. if the horizontal distance between the helicopter and airplane is 3,055 feet and angle of elevation is 71 degrees, find the airplane’s altitude.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

table 3 represents a direct variation function. : )
