Answer:

  23,325 ft, about 4.42 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle, where the side adjacent to the 2.7° angle of climb is the horizontal distance, and the side opposite is the vertical change in altitude. That change is ...

  5600 ft -4500 ft = 1100 ft

and the angle relation is ...

  tan(2.7°) = opposite/adjacent = (1100 ft)/(horizontal distance)

Multiplying this equation by (horizontal distance)/tan(2.7°) gives ...

   horizontal distance = (1100 ft)/tan(2.7°) ≈ 23,325 ft

Dividing this by 5280 ft/mi gives ...

  horizontal distance ≈ 4.42 mi

The airplane travels about 23,325 ft, or 4.42 miles, horizontally as it climbs.
