To solve the problem step by step, we will use trigonometric principles to find the vertical height of the plane. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a plane flying towards a point on the road, and its angle of elevation changes from \(30^\circ\) to \(60^\circ\) in 12 seconds. We need to find the vertical height of the plane. ### Step 2: Set Up the Diagram Let: - Point A be the position of the plane when the angle of elevation is \(30^\circ\). ...
