Answer:  The plane is 6,547 feet from the closer edge of the runway.

This is a trigonometry problem that will involve setting up 2 different triangles. One going to the closer edge of the runway and the other going to the far end of the runway.

The constant between the 2 triangles is the height of the plane. You can solve for this is both triangles and set them equal to each other. 

Do that will give you the equation:

x/tan(70) = (x+3000)/tan(76) where x is the distance to the closer end of the runway. 

If you solve that equation, you will get x = 6547 feet.
