Question 761909

Please Help Me!
Here's the question:
The two observers of a balloon 112m height have an angle of elevation of 45 degree and 30 degree. Find the maximum distance between them.


Distance that observer 1 is from the point on the ground, directly below the balloon = {{{112/tan30^o}}}, or 193.99 m


Distance that observer 2 is from the point on the ground, directly below the balloon = {{{112/tan45^o}}}, or 112 m


Distance between observer 1 and observer 2 = 193.99 - 112, or {{{highlight_green(81.99)}}} m


You can do the check!!
