Oscar's trig ratio word problem

Oscar is on a mile high cliff above the ocean. A helicopter is flying towards him at the distance. Oscar is a genius so he figures out the speed of the helicopter, which is 100 miles per hour. The angle of elevation from his feet to the chopper is 5 degrees. The chopper gets closer and the angle gets to 14 degrees. How high is the chopper?
