when an airplane leaves the runway, its angle of ascent 16 degrees, with a speed of 80 m/s. find the altitude of the plane after 2 minutes
Right triqangle hypotenuse = 80 m/s * 120 seconds = 9600 m
sin 60 = opposite side / hypotenuse
sqrt 3/ 2 = altitude / 9600
9600 * sqrt (3) / 2 = altitude = 8313. 8 m
