The animation demonstrates that the diagonal echo path results from sound reflecting off the ground like a mirror, allowing a single ray to reach a plane that has traveled 240 meters. By unfolding this reflection into a right triangle, the visual uses the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the plane's altitude at approximately 511 meters.
