An observer (O) spots a plane (P) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 23° 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 5,000 ft., how far is the bird (B) from the plane (P)? Round to the nearest whole number. (4 points)
