The angle of elevation of a jet plane from
a point p on the ground is 6o. After
a flight o 15 seconds, the angle of elevation
changes to 30. If the jet plane is flying
at a constant height of 1500√3m, the find
the speed of the jet plane.

Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached file
In triangle ABC,
tan60=BC/AB=3600*3(1/2)
AB=BC/tan60=3600*3^(1/2)/3^(1/2)
AB=3600
In triangle ADE,
tan30= DE/AD
AD=DE/tan30=3600*3^(1/2)/(1/3^(1/2))
AD=3600*3
AD=10800
The distance traveled by the jet plane=AD-AB=10800-3600=7200
So, the speed of the jet plane=7200/30=240
Therefore, the speed of the jet plane is 240 m/s.
