Control Line Flying Model Airplanes
I’m flying a model airplane at the end of a control line, the line is 17yd long and the plane is above a point
on the ground that is 15 yd away from the controls. If the controls are held at a height of 1 1/2yd, how high is the plane off the ground?
on the ground that is 15yd away from the controls. If the controls are held at a height of 1 1/2yd, how high is the plane off the ground? hint: height = b + 1 1/2
hypotenuse = 17
adjacent = 15
opposite = b
pythagoras
b = √(17² – 15²) = 8
height = b + 1.5 = 9.5
