Sonic boom

A jet plane is flying at a height of 5000 3 5000\sqrt{3} m and a constant velocity of 2 v 2v as above. When a person at point P on the ground hears the sonic boom, the jet plane is at point B. What is the distance between point A and B? (The velocity of sound in the air is v v irrespective of height. We ignore the size of the jet plane.)
