A rocket is fired, and it will travel in a straight line. The goal is for the altitude to be 12000 feet when the straight line distance from the launch pad is 54000 feet. Determine the sine of the angle between the ground and the rocket\'s path assuming a straight path. (Your answer should be to the nearest 0.001.)
sine of the angle =

Solution

Here opposite=12000 feet

hypotenuse=54000 feet

sin theta=opposite/hypotenuse=12000/54000=12/54=4/18=2/9

theta=sin^-1(2/9)=12.84 degree
