A plane took off at a 15° angle to the ground and flew in Sydney’s direction. She is standing at a point 25 miles from the point where the plane took off. If the plane has traveled 20 miles in the air, about how far is Sydney from the airplane? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

I just did it on edge and got it right.

add an !

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
