Aplane is flying at an altitude of 12,000 m. from the pilot, the angle of depression to the airport is 32o. how far is the tower from a point directly beneath the plane?

This is an appllication of right angle trigonometry. 12000 m is the side opposite the 32 degree angle, and the desired horiz. distance is the unknown; let's call it x.

Then tan 32 degrees = opp / adj = 12000 m / x

0.625 = 12000 m / x

Then x = 12000 m / 0.625 = 19204 m (answer)

The tower is 19204 m from a point directly beneath the plane.

the answer is a.
