A plane travels 1500 yards before lifting off the ground. If the plane continues on the
runway, it is 600 more yards to the control tower, which is 198 feet high. Instead, the
plane takes flight and travels 603 yards.
Which statement is most accurate? (1 yard = 3 feet)

The height of the plane when it gets to the tower would be 600 yards, which is greater than the height of the tower. Hence, "the plane clears the tower with about 6 yards to spare."

Given the Parameters :

Initial distance traveled = 1500
Yards to control tower = 600
Height of control tower = 198 feets = (198×3) = 594 yards

If the rate of ascent of the airplane is proportional to the distance traveled, that is (1 yard length = 1 yard height gained).

Then after traveling 600 yards to the position of the control tower, then the height of the plane would be 600 yards

Difference in height :

Height of plane - Height of tower

(600 yards - 594 yards) = 6 yards

Therefore, the most appropriate Statement is that, "the plane clears the tower with about 6 yards to spare."
