Here's something more comfortable to visualize. You're in a plane that is
ascending at a 25 degree angle above the horizontal to a point that is
9000 ft. higher. Then tan25 = 9000/d where d is the horizontal distance
of the plane at the start of the climb and d = 9000cot25 [ft] = 19300.56 ft,
approx = 19300 ft.
