What is the altitude of the plane after it has traveled a horizontal distance of 10 kilometers.A plane taskes off at an angle of 15degrees with the ground?

To find the altitude of the plane after it has traveled 10 kilometers horizontally, we can use trigonometry. The altitude (h) can be calculated using the sine function: ( h = d \cdot \tan(\theta) ), where ( d ) is the horizontal distance (10 km) and ( \theta ) is the angle of ascent (15 degrees). Therefore, ( h = 10 \cdot \tan(15^\circ) ), which gives an altitude of approximately 2.6 kilometers.
