A helicopter is flying at an elevation of 320 feet. It is within sight of the landing pad and the pilot finds that the angle of depression to the landing pad is 14°. Find the distance between a point on the ground directly below the helicopter and the landing pad. Round your answer to the nearest foot. Note that for this problem, we are using degrees to measure angles. Make sure your calculator is set to degrees instead of radians.
