A TV sized based on the length of its diagonal. The following TV has a size (diagonalof 36 inches and a height of 14.94 inches

Plane A

Step-by-step explanation:

angle of elevation of plane A=41 °

angle of elevation of plane B=43°

height of planes=18 miles

let Δabc be the right triangle formed by the plane A and Δabd be the right triangle formed by the plane B

the ab=18miles

∠c, angle of elevation of plane A=41 °

then distance bc=?

sinc=ab/bc

sin(41°)=18/bc

bc=18/0.65

bc=27.437 miles

Now

∠d, angle of elevation of plane B=43°

then distance bd=?

sinc=ab/bd

sin(43°)=18/bd

bd=18/0.68199

bd=26.393 miles

As bc>bd

Hence, Plane A was farther away from the airport when it was 18 miles from the ground!
