Hello, thank you for your instruction, to me, the tutor, especially for your instruction #1.

Now let me notice,  that your post does not contain  "the suggested solution",  to compare my solution with it and to disprove . . .



Now I can address my instruction to you,  in response:

            Bee extremely attentive and accurate when posting to this forum.

            Read what you post to tutors and think on it.



If I see such   I D I O T I C   post next time,  I will delete it immediately,  without any explanations.


Have a nice day / night / morning / evening / afternoon and a tea time . . .

2. Analyze the suggested solutions and find out what is wrong with them.
there are no suggested solutions here
3. Write your solutions.
if the angle of depression of the airport is 40°,altitude 100m and the horizontal distance between the airplane and the airport x
then

tan%28+40%29=100m%2Fx

x+=+100m+%2F+tan%28+40%29
x+=+100m+%2F+0.83909963117728
x+=+119.18m
