A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35 . How wide is the river?

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method (Fig. P1.6). Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, she walks d = 100 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then she sights across to the tree. The angle from her baseline to the tree is 0 = 35.0. How wide is the river? Figure P1.6

5.You start at the origin on an ay plane. You walk 20 meters at an angle of 25 degrees north of the +x axis. After that, you turn, then walk 20 metors at an angle 45 degrees north of the +x axis. Finally, you turn and walk 10 meters at an angle 15 degrees south of the +x axis. Your friend, still at the origin, walks in a straight line to you in the fastest route. What angle do thoy take, and how many moters do they go?
