Question 1149756: I really need help with this problem. it says:
A pilot is flying over a straight highway. He determines the angle of depression to two mileposts, A and B, 5 miles apart, to be 32 degrees to A and 48 degrees to B. Find the distance of the plane from point A.

My response : Then the problem must be written and edited correspondingly; for example, in this way
A pilot is flying over a straight highway. He determines the angle of depression to two mileposts, A and B,
on the highway ahead to be 32 degrees to A and 48 degrees to B.
If the points A and B are 5 miles apart, find the distance of the plane from point A.
So, edit / re-edit your problem and then re-post to the forum.
Do not post it to me personally.
Good luck (!)
