SECTION 4: Application 6. From the basket of a hot-air balloon that is 5 km in the air, Roxanna sees two small towns off in the distance. She measures the angle of depression to be 48° to one of the towns and the angle of depression to the other to be 45°. She estimates that if she were to land directly below her current position, the angle from one town to her position to the other town would be 120°. How far apart are the two towns in a straight line distance along the ground?
