An airplane is landing and approaching the runway! A general rule of thumb is that a plane's descent should not be more than 5 degrees. Otherwise it will descend too fast and crash. The pilot's instruments tell them the plane is 1500 feet away from the base of the runway. Meanwhile, the plane is 200 feet in the air. 1500 Runway Is the plane on a safe course? Fully explain your reasoning. At the minimum, you will need:
