Answer 1

Answer:

13510 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached a triangle diagram to depict this situation.

From the diagram, we see that distance between A and B is denoted by x.

Now, from trigonometric ratios in this type of triangle, let's first find y.

6400/y = tan 36

y = 6400/tan 36

y = 8808.84 ft

Now, we can find x from;

6400/(8808.84 + x) = tan 16

6400/tan 16 = 8808.84 + x

22319.452 = 8808.84 + x

x = 22319.452 - 8808.84

x ≈ 13510 ft
