blowing. The balloon comes to a stop 450 feet above the ground at point D
as shown in Figure 9. A jeep following the balloon runs out of gas at point A.
The nearest service station is due north of the jeep at point B. The bearing of
the balloon from the jeep at A is N 13 degree E, while the bearing of the balloon from
the service station at B is S 19 degree E. If the angle of elevation of the balloon from A
