A fire chief in a helicopter is flying directly towards two fires, one of which is further away but along the same direction. She observes that the angles of depression to the two fires are 30° and 50°. At that moment, her helicopter is at an altitude of 800 m. Determine the distance between the two fires. Select one: O a. 714 m O b. 671 m O c. 1 044 m O d. 1386 m
