Answer:the vertical distance is 1663.2 feet.
The horizontal distance is 7824.8 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:.
The vertical distance between the two aircrafts is represented by x.
To determine x, we would apply trigonometric ratio
Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
Sine 12 = x/8000
x = 8000Sin12 = 8000 × 0.2079
x = 1663.2 feet
The horizontal distance between the two aircrafts is represented by y.
To determine y, we would apply trigonometric ratio
Cos θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
Cos 12 = y/8000
x = 8000Cos12 = 8000 × 0.9781
x = 7824.8 feet
