Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The plane starts to takeoff from the beginning of the runway and the plane is 500 feet above the ground when it is at the level of the end of the runway. The bird is 8 feet above the ground and flying in the direction of the plane and 15 feet from the beginning of the runway.
Calculation:
Let the length of the runway is
Apply proportion to calculate the distance and solve it.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the distance of the plane from the beginning of the runway is
