A plane flying a straight course observes a mountain at a bearing of 35.3° to the right of its course. At that time the plane is 7 kilometers from the mountain. A short time later, the bearing to the mountain becomes 45.3°. How far is the plane from the mountain when the second bearing is taken (to the nearest tenth of a km)? O A. 3.8 km O B. 5.7 km O C. 9.5 km O D. 8.6 km
