Virginia is flying a Cessna and is descending at a 7° angle

Virginia is flying a Cessna and is descending at a 7° angle towards a runway. If she can see a gorge behind her at a 50° angle that is 500 feet away from the runway, how much further does she have to fly until she lands? Round to the nearest tenth.
