  • The diagram depicts a horizontal line segment labeled with the distance \(d_2\) at the bottom, representing the ground level from a FINISH point to a START point.
  • A dashed line sloping upwards from the FINISH point to the START point is labeled with an angle of \(15^\text{o}^\text{}\) at the FINISH end.
  • A solid right-angled triangle is drawn, showing a vertical side labeled \(200\) metres and a slanted hypotenuse labeled \(d_1\).
  • The angle inside the right angle at the START point is labeled \(28^\text{o}^\text{}\).
  • The geometry suggests that the distance \(d_1\) is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, while the dashed line and the solid line suggest trigonometric relationships involving the angles \(15^\text{o}^\text{}\) and \(28^\text{o}^\text{}\).
