<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:
