Can someone please help me set my problem up after that I can do it myself.

This is my problem 1.For your first takeoff, look in column A and find the letter your first name begins with to find your first flight number. In column C, you will see the angle of elevation needed for takeoff that must be communicated with the pilot. To keep in constant communication for the duration of the flight, the air traffic controllers pass the responsibility of monitoring the flight and guiding it from tower to tower until it reaches its final destination. For the activity, this will be known as a tower change. In the drawing below, the moment at which the aircraft’s wheels lift off the runway is marked as W. The tower is located at T, and C is the point at which a tower change is made. The length from W to T is 15,000 feet. What will be the altitude of your flight at the moment the tower change is made? You must provide your flight number to your instructor along with all steps and calculations for your solution to receive full credit.

my flight number is 1753 and my elevation is 31 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am supposed to set up a right triangle and find my elevation

|dw:1426863278272:dw| Bad drawing but that is the diagram my teacher gave me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does anyone understand?

|dw:1426863510389:dw| I'm not sure I see the point of the flight number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see the point of it either but your diagram is how I set up mine I think im supposed to be finding the angle measure of C but im not sure how to set up my equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got it im trying to find the distance between T and C the altitude is "how high" but im still confused about how I am supposed to set up me equation?

OpenStudy (bibby):

whichever side it is, you need to use a trigonometric relationship.|dw:1426864096666:dw|
