Using the given information determine the nearest distance of approach of the liner correct to the nearest 0.01km. Find BD.
The one angle is 23 degrees and other is 61 degrees we need to find BD.
Thank You very much. I really don't know how to inser a picture or even draw it in here, and I don't think I can even do it in here, but thank you very much to whoever has time to answer my question it is really important to me.

You will have to describe the picture of this in detail in order to get someone to
