A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 97.7 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline to the tree is θ = 33.0 °. How wide is the river?
A small turtle moves at a speed of 697. furlong/fortnight. Find the speed of the turtle in centimeters per second. Note that 1.00 furlong = 220. yards, 1.00 yard = 3.00 feet, 1.00 foot = 12.0 inches, 1.00 inch = 2.54 cm, and 1.00 fortnight = 14.0 days.
