1 General triangles 1 General triangles 2 You are stuck in place P and there is a landmark (L) in your sight that is at an angle of 42 to a reference line as in the picture. You know that there is a beacon (B) situated 3.9 miles away from the landmark (along a line parallel to the reference line), which you cannot see, and you can tell from the intensity of its calibrated signal that you are at a distance of d miles from the beacon. You cannot measure any other angle. How far are you from the landmark? P L 1. Solve the problem for d = 4.0 miles 2. Solve the problem for d = 2.8 miles 3. Solve the problem for d = 2.1 miles 42 3.9 miles d miles B
