Using the slope concept, it is found that the shuttle traveled 3.2 miles while Marion was watching.
<h3>What is a slope?</h3>
The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.
Initially, the angle of elevation is of 16º, with an elevation of 1 mi, hence:



Then, at the end, the angle will be of 74º, with the elevation remaining constant, hence:



The distance is:

Remark
There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.
Solve
A
Multiply by 2
x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1) Remove the brackets
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2 Subtract x from both sides
1.6 = x + 0.2 Subtract 0.2 from both sides
1.6 - 0.2 = x
1.4 = x
Circle A
B
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x - 2x = 1.4
Circle B
C
Remove the brackets.
4x + 6 = 2x - 6 Add 6 to both sides
4x + 12 = 2x Subtract 4x from both sides.
12 = -2x Divide by - 2
12/-2 = x
x = - 6 Don't circle C
D
I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.
3x = 4.2
x = 4.2/3
x = 1.4
Circle D
About 7,460 punds if you add everything together
