Answer:

  84.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is often helpful to draw a diagram for word problems involving geometric relationships. One for this problem is shown below.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides of a right triangle:

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Here we're given angles of depression measured from the horizontal (as shown in the diagram), but it is more convenient to use angles measured from the vertical. In particular, ∠BAO is the complement of 60°, and its tangent is the ratio OB/OA:

  tan(30°) = OB/OA

  OB = (200 m)·tan(30°) ≈ 115.47 m . . . . . . multiply by OA, use OA=200 m

Likewise, we have ...

  OC = (200 m)·tan(45°) = 200 m

Then the width of the river is the difference between these values:

  BC = OC -OB = 200 m - 115.47 m = 84.53 m

Given points A (-5, 6) and B (7, -1), find: Distance, Midpoint, and Slope
a_sh-v [17]
We have that
<span>points A (-5, 6) and B (7, -1)

Part A)
find the distance
d=</span>√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]-------> d=√[(-1-6)²+(7+5)²]----> d=√(49+144)
d=√193  units

Part B)
find the midpoint
ABx=(x1+x2)/2-----> (-5+7)/2-----> ABx=1
ABy=(y1+y2)/2-----> (-1+6)/2-----> ABy=2.5

the midpoint is (1,2.5)

Part C)
find the slope
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----> m=(-1-6)/(7+5)--------> m=-7/12

the slope m=-7/12
