Two cruiser warships the Arizona and Baltimore are trying to find the position of an enemy submarine. The USS Arizona detects the sub at an angle of 17 degrees and the USS Baltimore detects the sub at an angle of 23 degrees from its position. If the cruisers are 1324 m away from each other, which ship is closer to the submarine? How far below the surface is the sub?
