A pilot is flying at an altitude of 6000 feet. The straight line distance from the plane to the runway is 44000 feet. Determine the sine of the angle between the ground and the pilot\'s path assuming a straight path. (Your answer should be to the nearest 0.001.)
sine of the angle =

Solution

Here height, opposite = 6000 ft

and hypotenuse =44000 feet

sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse =6000/44000 = 3/22

theta=sin^-1(3/22) = 7.837 degree
