Answer:
B. 37,310.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It's a rectangle triangle, and we have the height (3900 ft) and the opposite angle (6 degrees), and we're looking for the hypotenuse (distance traveled) length.
In a rectangle triangle, there's a relation between those elements: the sinus of the angle.
[tex]sin(angle) = \frac{Opposite side}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
So, if we want to calculate the hypotenuse...
[tex]Hypotenuse = \frac{Opposite side}{sin(angle)}\ = \frac{3900 ft}{sin(6)}\ = \frac{3900 ft}{0.1045}\ = 37310.4117 ft[/tex]
