Let Jack's distance from the pole = \"+a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let Sangeeta's distance from the pole = \"+b+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Jack's equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+tan%28+50+%29+=+10+%2F+a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Sangeeta's equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+tan%28+35+%29+=+10+%2F+b+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+a+=+10%2Ftan%2850%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+a+=+10%2F1.1918+\"

\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Their distance apart is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+b+=+8.391+%2B+14.281+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+b+=+22.672+\"
