An aircraft (at Z) is spotted by two observers (at X and Y) who are L = 2000 feet apart. As the airplane passes over the line joining them, each observer takes a sighting of the angle of elevation to the plane, as indicated in the figure. If A = 40°, and B = 20°, how high is the airplane? %3D h B D L
