SOLUTION: P, Q, and R are three points on level ground with Q due east of P and R due south of P. A vertical mast PT stands at P and the angle of elevation of the top of T, from Q is 3.43°

Question 1133466: P, Q, and R are three points on level ground with Q due east of P and R due south of P. A vertical mast PT stands at P and the angle of elevation of the top of T, from Q is 3.43°. If PQ = 1000m and PR = 750m, calculate
a) the bearing of Q from R,
b) the height of the mast,
c) the angle of elevation of T from R.
