This situation represents triangle with one angle of 90 degrees. That angle is directly below glider. That means that we can you basic trigonometry functions.

sin42 = h/3280

Now we express h.
h = 3280* sin42
h = 2195 feet

The answer is 2195 feet.

distance = 3280 feet. This is the triangle's hypotenuse.

The distance from the ground is the opposite side as it is opposite the angle 42˚

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin(42) = Opposite/3280 Answer: 2195 feet

Cross multiply

Opposite = sin(42) x 3280

Opposite = 2194.7 feet
