We develop two different right triangles in which the opposite side to the given angle of depression is 1500 ft and the length of the runway is the y.
                (45°) -->       tan (45°) = 1500 ft / y₁  
                                                     y₁ = 1500 ft
                (42⁰) -->        tan (42⁰) = 1500 ft / y₂
                                                      y₂ = 1665.92 ft
Finding the difference between two y's, the answer would be 165.92 ft.
