Answer:
85.9 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of sines can help figure this.
The remaining angle in the triangle is ...
180° -75° -68° = 37°
This is the angle opposite the leg from the surveyor to the second marker. Referencing the attachment, we have ...
b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
b = sin(B)·c/sin(C) = 132.3·sin(37°)/sin(68°) ≈ 85.873 . . . meters
The surveyor is about 85.9 meters from the second marker.
