Mission+1

A wildfire is ablaze in San Antonio, Texas and is spreading rapidly. Your mission is to help pour water on the edge of the fire to prevent it from spreading. When the blaze initially began, the local police who are 100 yards away said that the angle of elevation was 10 degrees from the ground to the top of the flame. One minute later, the angle of elevation was 25 degrees. How much higher did those flames become during that minute? If you need to fly 95 yards above the flames to be safe, what is the airplane’s height from the ground?
