Question 1035351
please the following diagram and worksheet.


step 1 solves for b in terms of tan(61).
step 2 solves for b in terms of tan(56).
step 3 sets the expressions that are both equal to b in steps 1 and 2, equal to each other.
steps 4,5, and 6 take the equation from step 3 and solve for a.
step 7 shows you the value of a.
step 8 tells you that the value of a represents the distance between issa and stephen, which is the solution to the problem.


there is a missing close parentheses in step 5.
step 5 should read: 13.3(tan(61) - tan(56)) = a * tan(56).
the 13.3 is multiplying the subtraction of tan(56) from tan(61).
that error is corrected in step 6.


any questions, let me know.
