70 points, will give brainliest set up a right triangle model for this problem and solve by using the reference table trigonometric ratio that applies. follow the models above. who gains altitude more quickly, a pilot traveling 400 mph and rising at an angle of 30°, or a pilot traveling 300 mph and rising at an angle of 40°? the pilot rising 30 degrees at 400 mph. the pilot rising 40 degrees at 300 mph.

The pilot rising at 30o going up at a rate of 400 mph for 1 hour is higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to add one more piece of information. You need a time of some sort, so lets take one hour. And that's without any loss of generality. You need 2 triangles.So the triangle on the top represents a plane that has gone 400 miles (in 1 hour)The height off the ground is Sin(30) = h / 400The height off the ground is 400*Sin(30) = hHeight = 400 * 0.5 =200 miles off the ground.The bottom triangle shows what happens to a plane travelling upward at a 40 degree angle and going 300 milesSin(40) = h1/300300*sin(40) = h1Sin(40) = 0.6437300*0.6437 = h1h1 = 192.83 miles the plane going up at 30o is the higher one (by 8 miles about)

Discussion

The pilot rising at 30o going up at a rate of 400 mph for 1 hour is higher.
