Bushfires in Australia have been worsening for more than two decades as escalating drought places pressure on forest resilience and recovery. Bushfires are likely to occur across Australia through at least March 2022 and are a typical feature of the summer and early fall in the country, particularly after long dry spells or during spans of extremely high temperatures. One time, there’s a bushfire occurred in Southeast Australia and the local government will put the fire out before it burns more land. They send an airplane used to drop water on brushfires and is flying horizontally in a straight line at 475 mi/h at an altitude of 630 ft. Determine the distance d at which the pilot should release the water so that it will hit the fire at B.
