A pilot spotted a camp from a height of 2000 m above the ground, and found that the angle of depression was 45° , and after walking for 10 sec while heading towards the camp at the same height, he found that the lower angle of the camp became 75°. find the pilot's speed in kilometers per hour without using a calculator_ (given that v3 = 1.732 ).
