2. Consider two buildings. An observer in a hot-air balloon, above and to the left of both buildings, determines the angle of depression to the closest building to be 27° and the angle of depression to the furthest building is 18º. a) Create a fully labelled diagram - include the angle(s) of depression. b) What is the distance from the balloon to the closest building if the balloon is 36.0 m to the furthest building.
