We have been given that the surface area of the earth is approximately 197000000 square miles.
Also the land area of the earth is given by 58000000 square miles.
Therefore, the fraction of the earth surface is land is given by
On simplifying it, we get

Step-by-step explanation:
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan A = =
=
, then
∠ A = (
) ≈ 41° ( to the nearest degree )
The sum of the angles in the triangle = 180° , then
∠ B + 41° + 90° = 180°
∠ B + 131° = 180° ( subtract 131° from both sides )
∠ B = 49°
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
AB² = BC² + AC² = 7² + 8² = 49 + 64 = 113 ( take square root of both sides )
AB = ≈ 10.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
