By using what we know about right triangles, we will see that the distance is 1479.4 ft

<h3></h3><h3>How to find the distance between point A and point B?</h3>

We assume that the distance between the points is a hypotenuse of a right triangle whit one of the angles measuring 8°, and the adjacent cathetus measuring 1465 ft.

Then we use the relation:

Cos(a) = (adjacent cath)/(hypotenuse)

cos(8°) = (1465 ft)/(distance)

distance = (1465ft)/cos(8°) = 1479.4 ft
