Answer 1

The vertical height above the runway to the nearest foot is 580 feet.

Explanation:

The vertical height is opposite the angle 75 degrees, and the hypotenuse is 600 ft. The trigonometric function sine will be used since sine = opposite/hypotenuse and we're solving for the opposite side and have the hypotenuse.

Let x be the vertical height.

`(sin(75))/(1) = (x)/(600)`

x = sin(75) * 600

x = 579.555495773

The question is asking for the vertical height rounded to the nearest foot, which is 580.
