Its a trig question.

Answer 2

What do you think about this problem?

After 16 miles not feet

Answer 4

Use Sine law ,YOu know it ?

Answer 5

No, sorry, we are just learning right angle trig. Is it something I should know?

Answer 6

I could use tangent to find the base.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

This is related to Angles of Elevation and Depression ,And its common to use in it the sine law .
Which is
a/SinA=b/SinB=c/SinC
