Airship
An airship is at a height x above the ground. Pavel watches it from point A at an elevation angle of 18 degrees 26 minutes. At the same time, Peter sees it from a small plane that is currently flying over Pavel at an altitude of 150m. Peter sees the airship at an elevation angle of 11 degrees 46 minutes. How many meters higher is the airship than point A?
