Question 737464: To determine the length of a lake , a surveyor took angle measurements from two positions, A and B, that are 220 m apart and on opposite sides of the lake.From B,the angle between the sight lines to the ends of the lake is 115degrees, and the angle between the sight lines to A and one end of the lake is 96 degrees. From A, the angle between the site lines to the ends of the lake is 53 degrees, and the angle between the sight lines to the ends of the lake is 53 degrees, and the angle between the sight lines to B and the same end of the lake is 10 degrees. Calculate the length of the lake to the nearest metre. Show your work, including a diagram
