Jean can determine the width of the river by using basic trigonometry. By walking upstream until she forms a measurable angle with the rock directly across, she can create a right triangle where the distance she walked and the width of the river are the two legs. By measuring the angle and the distance she walked, she can apply the tangent function to calculate the width of the river. This method helps her find the river's width without needing to cross it directly.
What else can I help you with?
What city in the United States is closest to Windsor Canada?
Windsor is on the border between Ontario and Michigan. Its directly across from Detroit, Michigan.
What country is across south of Botswana?
South Africa is directly across the Southern border of Botswana.
What large city separates San Francisco and San Francisco Bay?
San Francisco is directly adjacent to the bay. Oakland is across the bay.
What does the U represent in ohms law?
Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.AnswerTo answer the question, U, is a symbol for potential difference. Alternative symbols are E and V. Originally, I believe, 'U' was a German symbol, but it has since been adopted throughout the EU..
What country is below Canada?
New Zealand, in fact. Of course, if you mean what neighbouring country is SOUTH of France,m that would be Spain, I suppose.
What is the blocking of sunlight to the moon that occurs when earth is directly between the sun and moon?
When earth is directly between the sun and moon, it is a lunar eclipse.when moon is directly between earth and passes across the sun, it is a solar eclipse.
Which continent has the majority of the seven wonders of the world?
Asia has the majority of the Seven Wonders of the World, with three out of the Seven Wonders located in different countries across the continent.
How do you ferry a current?
In order to ferry a current you need to point your boat an an angle across the river and pointing upstream. The stronger the current the more you will have to point upstream. You simply paddle at this angle until you reach the other side. It also can help if you lift your upstream knee slightly so that the water doesn't catch your upstream edge.
What is impulse piping?
It is the pipe which connects upstream and downstream pressure across orifice(constrictions) to the DP Transmitter.
Did tower bridge replace a previous bridge?
No. You either had to be rowed across the river by a boatman or go upstream to London Bridge.
What can weir be used for?
A weir is a low dam built across a river - either to raise the level upstream, or to regulate the water flow.
Why did the ferry boat have to go upstream before crossing the river?
if the boat turns toward the dock without going upstream, it will miss it's mark because the current is pushing the boat downstream.
What does across from mean?
A house directly opposite my home, straight across the road, is therefore across from me.
What body of land is directly across the Hudson River from Jersey City?
Manhattan Island is directly across the Hudson River from Jersey City.
How do you define the coefficient of incipient cavitation?
The cavitaion index across a valve or pipe fitting is defined as the ratio of difference between upstream pressure and vapor pressure to the pressure drop across the valve or fitting. The index at which incipient cavitation, damage, or choked flow occurs is based on testing and depends on the type of valve or fitting.
What is the common way of measuring bra size?
The most common way to measuring for a correct bra size, is first measure the length across the rib cage directly below the bust. When measure directly across the center of the bust. the difference between the two indicates the cup size.
What is the relationship between the voltage drop across capacitors and the amount of charge stored in them?
The voltage drop across a capacitor is directly proportional to the amount of charge stored in it. This means that as the charge stored in a capacitor increases, the voltage drop across it also increases.
