An airplane, flying at an altitude of y = 5.7 miles, is on a flight path that passes directly over an observer (see figure). If 0 is the angle of elevation from the observer to the plane, find the distance d from the observer to the plane for each value of 0. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
