The horizontal distance to reach an altitude of 6 miles is 10.4 miles.

Trigonometric ratio show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle.

Let d represent the horizontal distance to reach an altitude of 6 miles.

Using trigonometric ratios:

[tex]tan(30)=\frac{6}{d} \\\\d=\frac{6}{tan(30)} \\\\d=10.4\ miles[/tex]

The horizontal distance to reach an altitude of 6 miles is 10.4 miles.
