The two stadiums are 2,871 meters
A blimp = point A
stadium 1 = point B
stadium 2 = point C
height of the blimp , AD = 1600
depression angle of stadium 1 , ∠y = 71.7°
depression angle of stadium 2 , ∠x = 25.2°
distance between the two stadiums = d
So, it forms 2 triangles ABD and ACD,
Using the trigonometric ratios,
tan θ = Altitude / Base
DC = AD × tan (90° - x)
= 1600 × tan( 90° - 25.2° )
= 1600 × cot(25.2°)
= 1600 × 2.13
DB = AD × tan (90° - y)
= 1600 × tan( 90° - 71.7° )
= 1600 × cot(71.7°)
= 1600 × 0.33
∴ d = DC - DB
= 1600 * [ tan( 90° - 25.2° ) - tan( 90° - 71.7° ) ]
= 2,871 meters
