Answer:

The angle of descent of Artemis' plane is 6°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the angle of descent of Artemis' plane

we know that

The tangent of angle x is equal to divide the opposite side to angle x (altitude) by the adjacent side to angle x (horizontal distance)

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

so

tan(x)=2.2/22

x=arctan(2.2/22)=5.71°

Round to the nearest degree

x=6°
