Answer:

17 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first Ranger be at A and the second Ranger at Point B.

Using alternate angles, ∠AXB=22°.

We want to determine the distance of the first ranger at point A to the fire(X).

Using trigonometry,

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Tan 22°= 7/|AX|

|AX| X Tan 22°= 7

|AX| = 7/Tan 22°=17.32560797391

= 17 miles( to the nearest mile)

The first ranger is 17 miles from the fire.
