Answer:5.455 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the height of watch towers are same(h)

and distance between them is 10 miles

first ranger indicated angle=39^{\circ}

second ranger indicated angle=34^{\circ}

let x be the distance from second ranger to fire

thus \frac{h}{10-x}=tan34

\frac{h}{x}=tan39

equating h values

10tan39=1.48429x

x=5.444  miles

How do you solve substitution problems in Pre Algebra
Rus_ich [418]
You multiply both of the equations until you have two of the same term the same like for example, say I have 4x and 5x. You want to multiply until both have the same number, so multiply 5x by four, then multiply 4x by five, and you will get 20x, then both of those cancel out and you will be left with the other variable, and you just solve like a normal equation.
