w/150 ran 61= w/150

2. Two trees stand opposite

one another, at points A and
B, on opposite banks of a
river. Distance AC along one
bank is perpendicular to BA,
and is measured to be 150
feet. Angle ACB is measured
to be 61°. How far apart are
the trees; that is, what is the
width w of the river?
Answer: 270.61

w/150 ran 61= w/150
(150)1.8040=w W=270.61

3. Solve the right triangle ABC given that side c = 17 cm and side b = 15 cm.
Answer: a = 8cm, ∠A = 28°
b = 15 cm, ∠B = 62°
c = 17 cm, ∠C = 90°
Show your work below
A^2+b^2=c^2
A^2+15^2=17^2
A^2=64 cos^-1(15/17)=28.07
