Asurveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 120 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. then he sights across to the tree. the angle from his baseline to the tree is θ = 29.0°. how wide is the river?

The river is 216.4851 m wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the picture below, we observe that we have a triangle with a 90º angle and a 29º one, therefore, the third angle of the triangle would be

180 - 90 - 29 = 61º

We apply law of sines with this triangle to solve for x, where x is the width of the river

the answer is b

1/6
