Answer:

$D=3930.632298 \approx 3930.6miles$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Angle
$\theta=11\textdegree$

Height of plane
h =750feet

Generally the equation for the total distance flown is mathematically given by

$D=(h)/(sin\theta)$

D=(750)/(sin11)

Therefore total distance flown is

$D=3930.632298 \approx 3930.6miles$
