Answer:

Ships A and B are 1,425 feet apart and detect a submarine below them. The angle of depression from ship A to the submarine is 59°, and the angle of depression from ship B to the submarine is 47°.

How far away is the submarine from the two ships? Round to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

The distance from ship A to the submarine is about

feet.

The distance from ship B to the submarine is about

feet.
