Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Tan(x) = opposite / adjacent

Givens

x = 42

adjacent = 14

opposite = ?

Solution

Tan(42) = opp/14 Find tan(42)

Tan(42) = 0.900404

0.900404 = opp/ 14 Multiply both sides by 14

14 * 0.900404 = opp/14 * 14 Simplify the left

12.6 rounded = opp

a = 12.6

Answer: The river is 148.3 feet wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

The triangle formed is a right triangle.

Using SOH CAH TOA

$tan 56 = \frac{x}{100}$

Multiplying 100 in both sides

$x = 100 \times tan56$

$x = 100 \times 1.4826$

$x = 148.26$

Rounding to the one decimal place

$x = 148.3$

Hence river is 148.3 feet wide. .............. Answer
