charlie is at a small airfied watch for the approach of a a small plane with engine trouble. he sees the plane at an angle of elvation of 32. at the same time, the pilot radios charlie and reports the planes altitude is 1,700 feet. Charlies eyes are 5.2 feet from the ground. draw a sketch of this situation( you do not need to sumbit the sketch).
To draw a sketch of this situation, follow these steps:
1. Draw a horizontal line to represent the ground.
2. Mark a point on the line and label it as "Charlie."
3. Draw a vertical line from the point labeled "Charlie" upwards, representing Charlie's line of sight.
4. Measure a distance of 5.2 feet along the vertical line and mark a point, labeling it as "Charlie's eyes."
5. From the point labeled "Charlie's eyes," draw a slanted line upwards at an angle of 32 degrees, representing Charlie's line of sight to the approaching plane.
6. The line should intersect another horizontal line slightly above the starting point, representing the plane's altitude of 1,700 feet.
7. Label this point of intersection as the "Plane."
Your sketch should now illustrate Charlie and the plane at their respective positions with their lines of sight and the altitude marked.
