Chapter 8, Problem 32RE

Finding the Height of a Helicopter Two observers simultaneously measure the angle of elevation of a helicopter. One angle is measured as 25 ° , the other as 40 ° (see the figure). If the observers are 100 feet apart and the helicopter lies over the line joining them, how high is the helicopter?
