For the following exercises, find the area of each triangle. Round each answer to the nearest tenth.

Figure 29 shows a satellite orbiting Earth. The satellite passes directly over two tracking stations A and B, which are 69 miles apart. When the satellite is on one side of the two stations, the angles of elevation at A and B are measured to be 86.2° and 83.9°, respectively. How far is the satellite from station A and how high is the satellite above the ground? Round answers to the nearest whole mile.
