A rescue boat spots a lost hiker at the edge of a rock shelf. There is a fire behind the hiker that is moving quickly and there isn’t time to wait for the rescue helicopter. So the captain of the rescue boat decides to use the harpoon gun on board to shoot at the edge of the cliff and create a zipline for the hiker to escape to safety. How long must the rope be that is attached to the harpoon gun?

* An airplane is flying between two airports that are 35 miles apart. The radar in one airport registers a 27Β° angle between the horizontal and the airplane. The radar system in the other airport registers a 69Β° angle between the horizontal and the airplane. How far is the airplane from each airport, to the nearest tenth of a mile?
