Answer:

48ft

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <u>Distance of car A from the tower</u>
  • Consider ∆ACD tan25 = 50/AC AC  = 50/tan25 = 50/0.4663 = 107.2 ft
  • <u>Distance of car B from the tower</u>
  • Consider ∆BCD tan40 = 50/BC AC  = 50/tan40 = 50/0.8391 = 59.6 ft

  • <u>Distance from cars A and B</u> AB = AC – BC = 107.2 – 59.6 = 48 ft The distance between the two cars is 48ft
