Answer:
the sine of the angle of one corner equals the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse.
the cosine of the angle of one corner equals the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse.
the tangent of the angle of one corner equals the opposite side divided by the adjacent side.
X will equal 8 and y would equal 3

Answer:
60.2 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the width of the river. The distance from the point across from the tree to the second point is 15 m. The angle from this point to the tree across the river is 76°.
This makes the side opposite the angle x, the width of the river. It also means the 15 m side is adjacent to this angle.
The ratio opposite/adjacent is the ratio for tangent; this gives us the equation
x/15 = tan(76)
Multiply both sides by 15:
15(x/15) = 15(tan(76))
x = 15(tan(76)) ≈ 60.2
