Using a transit, a surveyor measures the angle between two trees to be 111 degrees. if the first tree is 62 feet from the transit and the second tree is 58 feet from the transit, what is the distance between the two trees?

The distance between the two trees is

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Applying the law of cosines

where

c -----> is the distance between the two trees

a ----> is the distance between the transit and the first tree

b ----> is the distance between the transit and the second tree

we have

substitute and solve for c

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion
