A man flying in a hot-air balloon in a straight line at a constant rate of 5 feet per second, while keeping
it at a constant altitude. As he approaches the parking lot of a market, he notices that the angle of
depression from his balloon to a friend’s car in the parking lot is 35. A minute and a half later, after
flying directly over this friend’s car, he looks back to see his friend getting into the car and observes
the angle of depression to be 36. At that time, what is the distance between him and his friend?
