Answer:

6.06 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given in the question can be represented by the three sides if a right angled triangle.

Let the direct line from the airplane to the start of the runway be represented by x. So that applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Cos θ = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Cos 8^{o}  = \frac{6}{x}

0.9903 = \frac{6}{x}

⇒ x = \frac{6}{0.9903}

      = 6.0588

x = 6.06 km

The direct line from the airplane to the stat of the runway is 6.06 km.
