Two fire-lookout stations are 16 miles apart, with station B directly east of station A. Both stations spot a fire. The bearing of the fire from station A is N35°E and the bearing of the fire from station B is N30"w. How far, to the nearest tenth of a mile, is the fire from each lookout station? The distance from station B to the fire is miles (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
