9. From ground level, a shooter is aiming at targets on a vertical brick wall.
If he raises his rifle and to an angle of elevation of θ , he will hit a target 20 metres above ground level.
If he doubles the angle of elevation of his rifle, he will hit a target 45 metres above ground level.
Determine the distance the shooter is from the base of the wall.
