Question

A plane is located at C on the diagram. There are two towers located at A and B. The distance between the towers is 7,600 feet, and the angles of elevation are given.
A. Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot.
B. Find CD the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot.

Reiny · Answer

insufficient information You say, "and the angles of elevation are given", but don't give them

oobleck · Answer

Assuming that D is between A and B, so far, we know that CD/AD = tanA BC/(7600-AD) = sinB if you know something else, use it to finish the solution
