Check the picture below.
if you go from the slant height, the path is shorter to the top, since the hypotenuse is the longest of all sides in a right-triangle.
that said, is shorter but is also steeper, so the lateral edge is longer but less steep and thus a bit simpler though longer, but we're only asked on which is shorter.

Answer:
The required drawing showing the cliff, river, and tower as well as the details in the question is attached, please find alongside the answer
The width of the river is approximately 51.55 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the observation tower = 11 meters
The angle of elevation of the cliff top and the opposite side of the river = 20°
The angle of elevation of the tower top and the opposite side of the river = 30°
Therefore, by sine rule, we have;
h/sin(20) = w/sin(60)
11/sin(10) = length, l/sin(60)
l = sin(60) ×11/sin(10) ≈ 54.86 meters
w = l × cos (20) = 54.86 meters × cos (20) ≈ 51.55 meters
The width, w, of the river is approximately 51.55 meters.
