A pilot sets out from an airport and heads in the direction N 20° E, flying at 200 mph. After one hour, he makes a course correction and heads in the direction N 40° E. Half an hour later, engine trouble forces him to make anemergency landing. Find the distance between the airport and his final landing point.
The Colonel spots a campfire at a bearing N 37° E from his current position. Sarge, who is positioned 267
feet due east of the Colonel reckons the bearing to the fire to be N 43° W from his current position.
Determine the distance from the campfire to each man, rounded to the nearest foot.
Colonel is about
feet away from the fire
Sarge is about
feet away from the fire
