The main focus of trigonometry is on analyzing how the sides and angles of a right-angle
triangle relate to one another.

(a)

The objective is to determine the plane altitude after 1 minute.

Consider, an airplane’s angle of ascent is with speed feet per second during
takeoff.

The diagram for the problem is,

Then,

Hence, the plane altitude after 1 minute is feet.

(b)

The objective is to determine the time it takes to climb to an altitude of feet.

Consider, an airplane’s angle of ascent is with speed feet per second during
takeoff.

The diagram for the problem is,

Then,

Now divide the value by ,

Hence, the time it takes is seconds.
