Solve the area of the figure formed by the three objects as shown in the figure.

Solve first the distance from the man on the cliff to the top of the ship.
Use sine law, let x be the distance
sin 48 ˚ sin 59˚
=
265 m x

X = 305.66m ≈ 306 m

Finding the third angle: 180˚ – (48˚ +59˚) = 73˚

Area:

A= ½ (265m)(306m) sin 73˚


= 38 773. 38m2
Then solve for line RC,
