Amanda and Jamie are standing 25 feet apart and spot a bird in the sky between them.  The angle of elevation from Amanda to the bird is 55, and from Jamie to the bird is 63.  How far away is the bird from Amanda?

• 25.23

• 23.19

• 22.15

• 20.85

Identify the Law of Sines

• Sin²x + Cos²x =1

• Sin(A)/a = Sin(B)/b = Sin(C)/c

• Sin(A)Sin(B)Sin(C) = 1
