27.96m

This resembles a triangle(a right angled triangle in fact!)

If ACB is 34 and AC is 50, we must use trigonometry.

Here we should be using cosine

SOH

CAH

TOA

Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Adjacent = BC = x

Hypotenuse = AC = 50

cos(x/50) = 34

Using a calculator,

x = 41.45

Now we should be finding the width of the river ( Line AB)

50² - 41.45² = 781.8975

√781.8975 ≈ 27.96

Thus, width of river is 27.96 cm

Answer:

33.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

tan ACB = AB/AC

tan 34 = AB/50

AB = 50tan(34)

AB = 33.7254258421

topjm [15]

You have to do subtract 10 from 4 because 6 is how much we will profit from each shirt. Now, 6 times 327 is $1,962. That's how much Timothy earned of profit.
