An observer (O) spots a plane (P) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 29° angle horizontal to her line of sight and located directly above a tower (T). The observer also notices a bird (B) circling directly above her. If the distance from the plane (P) to the tower (T) is 6,000 feet, how far is the bird (B) from the plane (P)? Round to the nearest whole number. Two parallel lines BP and OT with a transversal running through P and O. Dotted red line from P to T and from B to O. Angle POT is 29 degrees. The length of PT is 6000. The length of BP is x. 6,857 feet 10,824 feet 12,371 feet 22,063 feet
