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

They added it wrong. They added it like this:

100 + 700 + 800 + 560
When it shouldve been this:

100 + 70 + 80 + 56
They just added a place marker in all numbers below 100.
