The length traveled is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the opposite side of the 5 degree angle equal to H.
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%285%29=H%2F5280\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"H=5280sin%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"H=5280%2A%280.087156%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"H=460\"\"ft\"
