20. Two homes are located on opposite sides of a small hill. To measure the distance between them a surveyor walks a distance of 50 feet from house A to a point C, uses a transit to measure the angle ACB which is found to be 80° , and then walks to house B, a distance of 60 feet. How far apart are the houses?
