Draw a picture for each situation and solve for the missing part. Two observers are standing on shore ½ mile apart at points F and G and measure the angle to a sailboat at a point H at the same time. Angle F is 63° and angle G is 56°. Find the distance from each observer to the sailboat. (1 mile = 5280 feet)
