Question
A helicopter makes a forced landing at sea. The last radio signal received at station C gives the bearing of the helicopter from C as N 57.5° E at an altitude of a = 439 feet. An observer at C sights the helicopter and gives ∠DCB as 13.7°. How far will a rescue boat at A have to travel to reach any survivors at B? (See the figure below. Round your answer to the nearest 10ft.)
ft?
