27. Points A, B, and P are collinear points along a hillside. A blimp located at point Q is directly overhead point P. Points A and B are 200 yd apart, and the angle of elevation (relative to the horizontal) from B to the blimp is 48°. The angle of elevation from point A farther down the hill to the blimp is 44° 200 yd a. To the nearest yard, approximate the distance between point A and the blimp and the distance between point B and the blimp. b. Find the exact height of the blimp relative to ground level (distance between Pand C C. Approximate the height from part (b).
