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

The correct option about the proof is C. Both Amanda and Stephen are correct.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that both Amanda and Stephan are correct as they are taking two different pairs of supplementary angles.

Amanda's proof is that he takes (∠1 and ∠4) and (∠3 and ∠4)as the supplementary angles and writes ∠1 + ∠4 = 180° and ∠3 + ∠4 = 180°,

Stephan's proof is that he takes (∠1 and ∠2) and (∠3 and ∠4) as the <em>supplementary</em> angle pair.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
