The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.

1/6 x 1/16
1/96
The water levels at high tide was 9 feet and 1 foot at low tide
You're just going to take exponents of 4. For example, 4 to the power of 1, 4 to the power of 2, 4 to the power of 3, and so on. To get the powers of 4, just multiply 4 by how much the exponent reads. For example 4 to the power of 3 is just 4 multiplied by itself 3 times.
4^1=4
4^2=16
4^3=64
4^4=256
4^5=1024
However, 1024 is greater than 1000 so we do not include it.
