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

Ahat [919]

(A)6x+4x-6=24+9x

10x-6=24+9x

10x-9x=24+6

x=30.     (only 1 solution)

(B)25-4x = 15-3x+10-x

25-4x = 5-4x

25-5 = 4x-4x

30 = 0        (No solution)

(C)4x+8 = 2x+7+2x-20

 4x+8 = 4x -13

 4x-4x = -13-8

 0 = -21       (No solution)
