Mr Dominguez is standing on a 40 ft ocean bluff near his home. He can see his two dogs on the beach below. If his line of sight is 6 ft above the ground and the angles of depression to his dogs are 34 degrees and 48 degrees, how far apart are the dogs to the nearest foot?

y = 46 ..

1st dog ... tan 34 = y/x ... x = 46/ tan 34 ... x = 68.198 feet

2nd dog .. tan 48 = y/x ... x = 46/ tan 48 ... x = 41.42 feet

68.198 - 41.42 = 26.8 feet ~ 27 feet << answer
