Answer:

i. Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.

ii. Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Colonel's location be represented by A, the Sarge's by B and that of campfire by C.

The total angle at the campfire from both the Colonel and Sarge = 59^{0} + 34^{0}

                                           = 93^{0}

Thus,

<CAB = 90^{0} - 59^{0} = 31^{0}

<CBA = 90^{0} - 34^{0} = 56^{0}

Sine rule states;

\frac{a}{Sin A} = \frac{b}{Sin B} = \frac{c}{Sin C}

i. Colonel's distance from the campfire (b), can be determined by applying the sine rule;

\frac{b}{Sin B} = \frac{c}{Sin C}

\frac{b}{Sin 56^{0} } = \frac{242}{Sin 93^{0} }

\frac{b}{0.8290} = \frac{242}{0.9986}

cross multiply,

b = \frac{0.8290*242}{0.9986}

  = 200.8993

Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.

ii. Sarge's distance from the campfire (a), can be determined by applying the sine rule;

\frac{a}{Sin A} = \frac{c}{Sin C}

\frac{a}{Sin 31^{0} } = \frac{242}{Sin 93^{0} }

\frac{a}{0.5150} = \frac{242}{0.9986}

cross multiply,

a = \frac{0.5150*242}{0.9986}

  = 124.8073

Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.
