A plane rises from take-off and flies at an angle of $10^{\circ}$ with the horizontal runway. When it has gained 500 feet, find the distance, to the nearest foot, the plane has flown.
A plane rises from the runway for take-off. When it has flown 7 miles and flies at an angle of 5 degrees, it gains 750 feet. Find the distance to the horizontal nearest foot and the degrees with the plane.
