Directional distance calculation problem?

Pinpointing a forest fire. From an observation point A, a forest ranger sights a fire in the direction S32�20'W. From a point B, 6 miles due west of A, another ranger sights the same fire in the direction S57�40'E. Approximate, to the nearest tenth of a mile, the distance of the fire from A.
