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
