1 - as the air plane velocity is inclined at a 18 degree angle, it has an X and Y component.
2 - The question asks you about altitude which is in the Y axis (how high)

Knowing that, you take the Y component of the Velocity and divide that by the total altitude (11902 feet) to find how much time will it take
