@brei how do I solve this

Answer 9

Do you know trigonometry?
If you have an angle and taking BC as the base, the distance between sun and shooting star AC will be the hypotenuse of the triangle.
So you can use the ratio,
\[\cos x =\frac{ x }{ AC }\]

Answer 10

Okay so I use that formula but there aren't any number to plug into it
