Points A and B are on opposite sides of a river. To find the distance between the points, a third point C is located on the same side of the river as point A. The distance between A and C is 50 feet, ACB is determined to be 47° and BAC is 115°. Find the distance between A and B. (sketch a drawing to help) round to the nearest thousandth of a foot.

A skater glides along a circular path of radius 5.00 m in clockwise direction. ‘When he coasts around one- half of the circle, starting from the west point, find (a) the magnitude of his displacement vector and (b) how far he actually skated. (c) What is the magnitude of his displacement vector when he skates all the way around the circle and comes back to the west point?
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method (Fig. P1.6). Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, she walks d = 100 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then she sights across to the tree. The angle from her baseline to the tree is 0 = 35.0. How wide is the river? Figure P1.6
The polar coordinates of a point are r = 5.50 m and = 240. What are the Cartesian coordinates of this point?
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53

How far away is Bill from his starting position? And in what direction is he? Provide the direction in number of degrees in reference to the cardinal directions (North of East, South of West, etc.).
A helicopter starts from an airport and takes the route described. The plane first flies to city A, located 175km away in a direction 30.0o north of east. Next, it flies for 150km 20.0o west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the distance of city C relative to starting point. (Write your final answer in 3 significant figures, include the unit in your final answer)

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks 100m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree the angle from his baseline to the tree is 35o. How wide is the river?(in meters)
I have already figured out Part A. I just need help with Part B. I have determined that Part B would be 54.3 degrees North of West, but the problem is asking for the degress West of North. Thanks!
A team is exploring a tresure. They start at the entrance of a national park and makes the following straight line movements: 68 m, north, 50 m, 25° north of west (155° CCW) 34 m, west 42 m, 17° south of east (343° CCW) Determine their position relative to the entrance of the national park. Can this be explained with a lot of detail in irder to understand.
