Answer 1

We can solve this type of question using trigonometric functions. Here, we use sine of the angle of take-off with the horizontal runway.

`\begin{gathered} \sin 10^o=(500)/(c) \\ c=(500)/(\sin 10^o) \\ c=(500)/(0.1736) \\ c=2880.18 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the distance that the plane has traveled is equal to 2880 ft.
