<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The correct option is:
D. 40 feet.
<h2>Why?</h2>To solve the problem and calculate the width of the river, we need to assume that the distance from A to B and the angle formed between that distance and the distance from A to the other point (C) is equal to 90°, meaning that we are working with a right triangle, also, we need to use the given angle which is equal to 34°. So, to solve the problem we can use the following trigonometric relation:
Where,
alpha is the given angle, 34°
Adjacent is the distance from A to B, which is equal to 60 feet.
Opposite is the distance from A to C which is also equal to the width of the river.
So, substituting and calculating we have:
Hence, we have that the correct option is:
D. 40 feet.
Have a nice day!
Answer:
28 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The longer side can be found using the Law of Cosines. The semi-diagonals are of length 12 and 20 m, and the angle between them facing the long side is 180° -60° = 120°.
c^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C)
c^2 = 12^2 +20^2 -2·12·20·cos(120°) = 144 +400 +240 = 784
c = √784 = 28
The longer side is 28 meters.
