[quote=surveyor][quote=dpalmer]That question isn’t spectacularly difficult. It’s a trig question. Also you failed to post the diagram that goes with it.
Whoa!!! Look at all those buttons!!! OMG HOW COULD ANYONE HANDLE THAT OMG!!!! NUCLEAR MISSILE SUPER IQ WOWZ!!![/quote]
Even without the diagram, if it’s so obvious how to solve it, you can walk through how to solve it without the diagram. Right?
And I sure hope you keep that attitude the next time you fly the friendly skies…[/quote]
It’s not a trig question. It could be answered with trig, of course, but trig isn’t required. And it’s not a difficult question at all(if you have all the required info, which isn’t given here). Any 8th grader who had average intelligence and had received the proper instruction could answer that question.
