I thought that the width was 96 m because it's across the river, but the answer in my textbook is 115 m.
Please clarify by showing all steps. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! DE is the width of the river.
--------
BC = 180
CD = 396 - 180 = 216
--------
DE = AB*216/180
DE = 115.2 m
