The plane shown in the figure is taking an aerial photograph with a camera lens that has an angular coverage of 70∘. The ground below is inclined at 5∘. If the angle of elevation of the plane at B is 50∘ and distance BC is 3500 feet, estimate the ground distance AB (to the nearest foot) that will appear in the picture.
