Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(i) The airplane takes off to 2500 feet.

(ii) After 20 minutes, it descends by 150 feet.

To find:

(i) The airplanes current height.

Solution:

Given, after the airplane takes off, it rises to 2500 feet.

Then, it descends or lowers by 150 feet.

So, its current height = Initial height - Height descended

= (2500 - 150) feet

= 2350 feet

The current height is 2350 feet.
