An aircraft is approaching the airport from a line of sight distance of 10 km to the landing point and is currently at a height of 5 km. What is the angle of elevation?
Given:
Line of sight distance (hypotenuse) = 10 km
Vertical height of the aircraft = 5 km
Required: Angle of elevation from the landing point (horizontal) to the aircraft
Formula Used:
To find the angle of elevation , we use the sine function:
Solution:
Final Answer: (B) 30°
