A surveyor is measuring the length of a lake. He takes angle measurements from
two positions, A and B, that are 395 m apart, and on opposite sides of the lake. From
B, the measure of the angle between the sight lines to the ends of the lake is 132°, and
the measure of the angle between the sight lines to A and one end of the lake is 111°.
From A, the measure of the angle between the sight lines to the ends of the lake is 65°,
and the measure of the angle between the sight lines to B and the same end of the lake is
23°. Calculate the length of the lake, to the nearest metre. Show your work.
