We calculate the length of AB by using right angle triangle as shown below

Consult the figure. To find the length of the span of a proposed ski lift from A to B, a surveyor measures the angle DAB to be 25° and then walks off a distance of L=2000 feet to C and measures the angle ACB to be 15°. What is the distance from A to B? D 25 A 15 The distance from A to B is approximately feet. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)
