Here we have a triangle with angle A 7.5deg and opposite side O 13m, and we're looking to find the hypotenuse H which would be the drain pipe. Remember sin A=O/H, so H=O/sinA. H=13/sin7.5= 99.6m

When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft what is the planes angle of elevation as it rises?

When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft; the plane's angle of elevation as it rises would be 86 degrees.


Is longitude horizontal?

Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.

What does 160 degree angles look like?

An obtuse angle is an angle between 90 degrees and 180 degrees. A 180 degree angle is a straight horizontal line. So you can imagine that a 160 degree angle is almost but not quite horizontal.
