Question 147838: I got an answer for this, but I'm not sure if i'm right. thanks!!!!
Standing on a cliff 380 meters above the sea, Sue sees an approaching ship and measures its angle of depression, obtaining 9 degrees. How far from the shore is the ship?
Now Sue sights a second ship beyond the first. The angle of depression of the second ship is 5 degrees. How far apart are the 2 ships?

My answer was about 2399.226 meters away, and 1944.194 meters apart.
