Balloon and bridge

From the balloon, which is 92 m above the bridge, one end of the bridge is seen at a depth angle of 37° and the second end at a depth angle of 30° 30 '. Calculate the length of the bridge.

Correct answer:

x =  34.0969 m

Step-by-step explanation:

h=92 m A=9037=53  B=90(30+30/60)=2119=59.5   x1=h tanA=h tan53° =92 tan53° =92 1.327045=122.08812 m x2=h tanB=h tan59.5° =92 tan59.5° =92 1.697663=156.18501 m  x=x1x2=122.0881156.185=34.0969 m
