The distance from the point where the aircrafts wheels lift off the runway (W) to the communication tower (T) is 15,000 feet. Label the triangle below with the angle of elevation and the length of side WT. Using a trigonometric ratio, determine the altitude of the flight the moment the plane is directly above the communication tower (at point C). (In other words find the length of the side CT).

how am i supposed to answer

step-by-step explanation:

you just switch the numbers basically so it would be 3/17

just pick what you think i need more time let me know if this

step-by-step explanation:

yx = 36

step-by-step explanation:

cos f = opposite side/ hypotenuse

cos f = yw / yx

we know cos f = 4/9 and yw =16

4/9 = 16/yx

multiply each side by yx

4/9 yx = 16/ yx * yx

4/9 yx = 16

multiply each side by 9/4

9/4 * 4/9 yx = 16 *9/4

yx = 36
