I need the answer. Please help.

Answer 1

Answer:  1.8

===========================================================

Work Shown:

Use the tangent ratio

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = AC/AB

tan(61) = AC/1

tan(61) = AC

AC = tan(61)

AC = 1.80404775527142

AC = 1.8

The river is about 1.8 miles wide between points A and C.

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. One way to check is to type in tan(45) and you should get 1.
