Answer 1

The distance of the cell phone from the western tower is 27.47 miles and from the eastern tower is 1.76 miles

Explanation:

The sketch is attached for the reference.

tan (10) = $\frac{NE}{WE}$

$0.176 = \frac{NE}{10} \\\\NE = 1.76$

tan (70) = $\frac{NW}{WE}$

$2.747 = \frac{NW}{10} \\\\NW = 27.47$

Therefore, the distance of the cell phone from the western tower is 27.47 miles and from the eastern tower is 1.76 miles
