I don't think I am understanding the question at all here!! Can you please advise ...thanks .

 

The answer is 931 meters. (I am getting 2 different readings for each point [1.42 and .438] - If I add

both answers and average then my answer would be 930 metres ?/

Thanks for that...what a great job Heureka!!

 

I tried to solve this problem using sine rule. Therefore I got values of a and b independent of height of beacon! A bit puzzling.. 

 

Regards and thanks -  have a great day!
