Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let d =  the horizontal distance from Charlie to the plane.
By definition,
tan(32°) = 1694.8/d 
1694.8/d = 0.6249
d = 1694.8/0.6249 = 2712.2 ft

Answer:  2,712.2 ft

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 17 and passing through the point (0, 0)
Mkey [24]
The equation for a line is y=mx+b. where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of 17 is provided. This means m=17. The point (0,0) tells you the y intercept is 0. This means b=0

Plugging these into the equation and simplifying:
y=17x+0

y=17x

Hope this helps :)
