Question 709201
This problem is just like your plane and ships problem. (You can even reuse the diagram as long as you change the angles and the heights!) So you can solve it the same way as I showed you in that problem.<br>
The only substantial difference between this problem and the other one is that the angles are not whole numbers. To handle angles measured in degrees and minutes you must convert them into a decimal number of degrees.<br>
Since there are 60 minutes in a degree, 34 degrees and 16 minutes is the same as {{{34&16/60}}} degrees. Now we convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing 16/60. So 34 degrees 16 minutes, as a decimal number of degrees, is: 34.266666... Round this off as you see fit.<br>
I'll leave it up to you to convert 54 degrees 12 minutes to a decimal number of degrees.<br>
Then as you solve the problem you will be using these decimal numbers in your tan's.
