Astudent wants to determine the distance from the lakeshore to a small island (Figure 1). He first draws a 50- m line parallel to the shore. Then, he goes to the ends of the line and measures the angles of the lines of sight from the island relative to the line he has drawn. The angles are 30° and 40°. Figure < 1 of 1
