An aircraft (at Z) is spotted by two observers (at X and Y) who are L=1000 feet apart. As the airplane passes over the line joining them, each observer takes a sighting of the angle of elevation to the plane, as indicated in the figure. If A=25°, and B=45°, how high is the airplane? The elevation of the plane is approximately feet. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)
