The surveyor wants to find the angle of 20 and finds it equal to 75.98. The distance from one stake to another on the same side of the river is 30.0m. The distance across the river is not specified. A stake is placed on the third river vertex as shown in the figure. She then measures 5m and 3m.

To find the distance $R S$ across a lake, a surveyor lays off $R T=53.1$ meters, with angle $T=32^{\circ} 10^{\prime}$ and angle $S=57^{\circ} 50^{\prime} .$ Find length $R S$

For a small lake, a surveyor wants to measure the distance x from point A to point B that are separated by the lake. For this, the surveyor places his measuring equipment outside the lake at a distance of 3.56 miles from point A and 2.82 miles from point B. His team shows that the angle opposite x is 40.3º. Find that distance.
