If the nearer object is at distance x, and the two are distance d apart, then we have
57/x = tan27°
57/(x+d) = tan40°5'
Now just solve each euation for x, and set the two equal:
57/tan27° = 57/tan40°5' - d
Now just find d.
57/x = tan27°
57/(x+d) = tan40°5'
Now just solve each euation for x, and set the two equal:
57/tan27° = 57/tan40°5' - d
Now just find d.
