Answer:

  • 52.35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Refer to picture.</em>

Let the distance to men are x and y and the distance between them is d.

The angle of depreciation is 27° and 30°, hence top angle of the triangle is 63° or 60°.

<u>Find the distance from the tower to men:</u>

  • x = 20 tan 63° = 39.25 m
  • y = 20 tan 60° = 34.64 m

<u>The distance between men is:</u>

  • d = \sqrt{x^2+y^2} =\sqrt{39.25^2+34.64^2} = 52.35m

<em>Note, all numbers are rounded</em>
