Answer:

W = 85.73 m

Explanation:

given,

surveyor walks = 118 m

makes an angle of = 36.0° with the tree

to find the width of the river

tan \theta = \dfrac{W}{distance}

tan 36^0 = \dfrac{W}{118}

tan 36^0 = \dfrac{W}{118}

W = 118 \times 0.7265

W = 85.73 m

hence, the width of the river is equal to W = 85.73 m
