the angles of elevation to the bird's nest are 30 degrees and 60 deg. How far is each observer from the base of the tree?
We don't just want the answer, but would like to know a step by step on how to do it also. THANK YOU!!! (We won't forget to pick the best answer)

I'm going to have a hard time picking best answer, but I just want to thank each of you for contributing. We actually got a little from most answers to clearify. THANKS TO EACH OF YOU!!! ;o)

Northstar was the only person who put the two observers on the same side of the tree, like we had done. We thought we were getting the wrong answer, but she proved that you were all right and so were we and it depended on where we placed those two crazy observers!!!!
