An aircraft (at Z) is spotted by two observers (at X and Y) who are L = 1950 feet
1 answer:
Answer:
889.70 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
From the solution diagram attached :
C = 180 - (40 + 45) = 95°
According to the sine rule :
Sin95 / 1950 = Sin40 / b = Sin 45 / a
1950 sin40 / sin 95 = b = 1248.22 ft
1950 sin 45 / sin 95 = a = 1384.13 ft
Sin 40 = h / 1384.13
h = 1384.13 * sin 40
h = 889.70 feets
