A forest ranger in a 140-foot observation tower sees a fire moving in a direct path toward the windmill by the lake. The angle of depression to the fire is 3°, and the angle of depression to the windmill is 8°. To the nearest foot, how close is the fire to the windmill?

Answer 1

tan8 = 140/X1.
X1 = 140/tan8 = 996.2 Ft.

tan3 = 140/(996+X2)
996+X2 = 140/tan3 = 2671
X2 = 2671-996 = 1675 Ft. = Distance from
fire to windmill.
