PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST - An airplane travels 150 miles horizontally during a decrease of 35,000 feet vertically. 1. What is the angle of descent?
2. How long is the plane's path?

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by converting miles to feet:

Form a right triangle with the plane's displacement marking the hypotenuse of this triangle. We can now use basic trig for a right triangle to solve for the angle of descent.

Let the angle of descent be . In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle is equal to its opposite side divide by its adjacent side.

Therefore, we have:

In all right triangles, , where is the hypotenuse of the triangle and and are the two legs of the triangle (Pythagorean Theorem).

Therefore, the length of the plane's path is:
