Question

to find the distance from point A to point B on opposite end of a lake a surveyor constructed figure as shown. how far is it from a to b

Answer 1

Answer:

20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the distance AB:

Given that it forms a right angle triangle

a² + b² = c²

16² + 12²= c²

c² = 256 + 144

c² = 400

c = √400

c = 20 m

Answer: The distance is 20 m
