23PRACTICE PROBLEM
A car is traveling on a road that stretches along a north-south line. The bearing of a windmill from the car was measured N 48° E. After traveling 5.2 mi towards the north, another bearing was taken as N 64° E. Calculate the distance between the car and the windmill at the time when the first bearing was measured.
