Answer:

6,535.06 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is right angles

hypotenuse = 7000feet

angle of elevation = 21 degrees

Required

horizontal distance (adjacent)

Using SOH, CAH TOA trig identity

cos theta = adj/hyp

cos 21 =  adj/7000

adj = 7000 cos 21

adj = 7000(0.9336)

adj =  6,535.06

Hence the HORIZONTAL distance until the plane flies over the island is 6,535.06 feet
