Question 286563: A ranger in fire tower A spots a fire at a direction of 32°. A ranger in fire tower B, which is 22 miles directly east of tower A, spots the same fire at a direction of 58°. How far from tower B is the fire?
I need to solve this problem and draw a picture to go with it. I'm clueless.
