    How to solve trigonometry bearings
    At the center of the UST campus is the statue of Fr. Benavides. Standing at a distance 400 ft. from the statue, two observations were taken. The angle of elevation to the base of the statue is 28 degrees; the angle of elevation to the top of the statue is 31 degrees. What is the height of the statue?
