Answer 1

Answer:

11779 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$\theta=23^{\circ}$

Distance between tower and plane,d=5000 ft

We have to find the distance between the plane and bird.

Let x  be the distance between bird and plane

We know that

$tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular\;side}{Base}$

Using the formula

$tan23=\frac{5000}{x}$

$x=\frac{5000}{tan23}=11779.3 \approx 11779ft$

Hence, the distance between the plane and bird=11779 ft
