A yacht is travelling on a course parallel to and 80 kilometers from the straightshoreline of Palawan. Two transmitting stations are located 180 kilometers apart onthe shoreline. By timing radio signals from stations, the yacht's navigator determinesthat the yacht is between the two stations and 60 kilometers closer to station A thanto station B. Find the distance from the yacht to each station.

To estimate the height of a building, two students find the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) down the street from the building to the top of the building is 38°. From a point that is 250 feet closer to the building, the angle of elevation (at ground level) to the top of the building is 49°. If we assume that the street is level, use this information to estimate the height of the building. The height of the building is feet.

Captain Ri Jyeong Hyeok and Yoon Se Ri had an argument at the border between North and South Korea. In his anger, Captain Ri ran 36° west of north from their location at a speed of 8kph. After 2 hours, Yoon Se Ri decided to follow Captain Ri by bike, but mistakenly went at a different direction 40° east of north. If Yoon Se Ri biked at 15kph, how long will it take for her to be directly east of Captain Ri?
