8.1/2 Law of Sines and Cosines • A blimp is sighted simultaneously by two observers: A at the top of a 650 ft tower and B at the base of the tower. Find the distance of the blimp from observer A is the angle of elevation (from the horizontal) as viewed by Ais 32° and the angle of elevation as viewed by B is 56°. How high is the blimp?
