TO space be space the space tower
TO space equals space 70 space straight m
let space straight A space and space straight B space be space the space positions space of space two space people
in space increment AOT
tan space 50 space equals space TO over AO
AO equals fraction numerator 70 over denominator tan space 50 end fraction
in space increment AOT
tan space 25 space equals space TO over OB
OB equals fraction numerator 70 over denominator tan space 25 end fraction
distance space between space the space persons
AB space equals space fraction numerator 70 over denominator tan space 50 end fraction plus fraction numerator 70 over denominator tan space 25 end fraction... substitute space tan space values space from space tan space tables space provided
AB space equals space 70 open parentheses fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1.1917 end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 0.4663 end fraction close parentheses... simplify
