At this point surveyors a and b determine the distance


You must determine the ground clearance of an overhead electrical cable. Surveyor B is positioned directly under the cable (surveyor B's position can be checked by his sighting past the string of a plumb bob, held in his outstretched hand, to the cable); surveyor A sets her clinometer to 45º and then backs away from surveyor B until the overhead electrical cable is on the cross hair of the leveled clinometer. At this point, surveyors A and B determine the distance between them to be 43.6 ft. Surveyor A then sets the clinometer to 0º and sights surveyor B; this horizontal line of sight cuts surveyor B at a distance of 3.8 ft above the ground. Determine the ground clearance of the electrical cable.
