Answer:

D) 22534 m

Explanation:

The figure forms a Z shape where the top line and bottom line are parallel. Therefore the angle with the coastline, inside the triangle will be 16.5°.

We have to find the hypotenuse which is the side opposite to the 90 degree angle.

Now this can be solved through sin formula

Step 1: Write all the data

Angle = 16.5°

Opposite = 6400

Hypotenuse = ?

Step 2: Use the sin formula

Sin (Angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin (16.5) = 6400/Hypotenuse

Step 3: Solve

Hypotenuse = 6400/sin(16.5)

Hypotenuse = 22533.99 rounded off to 22534 m

The jet has to fly 22534 m before it reaches the coastline.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
