The distance of the first truck from the fire is 0.578 mile and the distance of the second truck from fire is 0.722 mile.
<h3>Distance of each truck from the fire</h3>Using sine rule, we find the length of AB and BC as shown in the image.
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C
Angle C = 180 - (58 + 52) = 70⁰
1.3/(sin 70) = b/(sin 52)
b = (1.3sin 52) / (sin 70)
b = 1.09 mile
c = (1.3sin 58) / (sin 70)
c = 1.1732 miles
Bisect angle C, and use sine rule again to find the lengths of bisected line AB.
1.09/(sin 90) = x/[sin (90 - 58)]
1.09/(sin 90) = x/(sin 32)
x = (1.09 sin 32)/(sin 90)
x = 0.578 mile
Truck B's position from the fire = 1.3 miles - 0.578 mile = 0.722 mile
