Some walkers see a tower, \(T\), in the distance and want to know how far away it is. They take a bearing from a point \(A\) and then walk for 50 m in a straight line before taking another bearing from a point \(B\). They find that angle \(T A B\) is \(70 ^ { \circ }\) and angle \(T B A\) is \(107 ^ { \circ }\) (see diagram).
- Find the distance of the tower from \(A\).
- They continue walking in the same direction for another 100 m to a point \(C\), so that \(A C\) is 150 m . What is the distance of the tower from \(C\) ?
- Find the shortest distance of the walkers from the tower as they walk from \(A\) to \(C\).
