An airplane is approaching Los Angeles International Airport at an altitude of 5,280 feet. If the horizontal distance from the plane to the runway is 2.4 miles, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal distance from the plane to the runway (see the figure below). (5,280 feet equals 1 mile.)
