ANCES. PROBLEM I. To determine the horizontal distance to a point which is inac-cessible by reason of an intervening river. Let <J be the point. Measurealong the bank of the river s hori-zontal base line AB, and select thestations A and B, in such a mannerthat each can be seen from the other,and… … The angle C = 180° — {A + B) = 57° 34 To find the distance BC.
