A helicopter is on a path directly overhead line AB  when it is simultaneously observed from locations A and B separated by 300ft. The angle of elevation from A is 43°34′and the angle of elevation from B is 30°9′. What is the distance from each location to the helicopter, and how high is the helicopter from the ground at the moment of observation?

*Please circle the answer for the distance from A to the helicopter , the distance from B to the helicopter, and the answer for how high the helicopter will be from the ground at the moment of observation.

***I know y'all typically like to answer one question at a time, but I truly do not know how to do these last two problems on my homework. If you could answer both, I would greatly appreciate it, and I will return the favor!***
