Answer:

I've turned off your urgent lever.

Explanation:

651.2 is the answer if you add and subtract the numbers twice

The angle of dispersion is 74.87° and distance between point A to point B is 574.91 ft.

The angle of dispersion based problem:

TanA = 555 / 150

Tan A = Tan 74.87

So,

A = 74.87°

Pythagorean theorem

Hypoteneus² = Base² + Perpendicular²

Hypoteneus² = 150² + 555²

Hypoteneus = √150² + 555²

Hypoteneus = √22,500 + 308,025

Hypoteneus = √330,525

Hypoteneus = 574.91 ft
