Answer:
i. Colonel is about 201 feet away from the fire.
ii. Sarge is about 125 feet away from the fire.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Colonel's location be represented by A, the Sarge's by B and that of campfire by C.
The total angle at the campfire from both the Colonel and Sarge = +
=
Thus,
<CAB = -
