A river is flowing from West to East. For determining the width of the river, two points A and B are selected on the Southern bank such that the distance AB = 75 m. Point A is Westward. The bearings of a tree C on the Northern bank are observed to be 38° and 338° respectively from A and B. Calculate the width of the river.
