An airplane is flying 100 km north and 185 km west of an airport. it is flying at a height of 7 km.

what is the angle of elevation of the airplane,

from the point of view of the airport?

 

tan(angle of elevation) =7 km(100 km)2+(185 km)2=7210.297408448=0.03328619241 angle of elevation =arctan(0.03328619241)=1.90645445031

 

The angle of elevation of the airplane from the point of view of the airport is 1.9
