A helicopter takes off and travels forward at an angle of 59.4o above horizontal. After following this path for 294 meters, the pilot changes the angle of flight to 10.5o above horizontal and follows this path for 849 meters. After these two legs, what is the helicopter’s horizontal distance from the point of take off?   408 m   985 m   447 m   964 m
