apart. The bay walk is a straight line between them. Both can see the same yacht in
the water. The angle between and the yacht with respect to John and Marie are 45o and

and molave trees that are on the opposite sides of the river. Andrew made a baseline
and placed a stake at a guava tree, which can be reached through a 100 ft. straight trail.

of the trail with respect to the guava tree were 80o and 45o, respectively. How long is the
hanging bridge stretched between the narra and molave trees?
