An observer (O) spots a plane flying at a 55° angle to his horizontal line of sight. If the plane is flying at an altitude of 21,000 ft., what is the distance (x) from the plane (P) to the observer (O)? (4 points)

If the plane is flying at an altitude of 21,000 feet, it is perpendicular to the observer's horizontal line of sight. Thus, I concluded that the given information be assigned to the attachment below.

Given -

( Observer at point O, plane flying at point P

( Plane at 55° angle to horizontal line of sight, altitude of 21,000 feet

The distance ( x ), is represented by the line segment OP, with which we have to determine the length of. Therefore we can conclude the following -

As you can see, the distance from the plane to the observer is about 25,636 ft!

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is
