To find the distance across a river, a surveyor chooses points A and B, which are 100 ft apart on one side of the river (see the following figure). A 100 ft B 82° 52° C The surveyor then chooses a reference point C on the opposite side of the river and finds that BAC 82° and ABC 52°. Approximate the distance from A to C. (Round your answer to the nearest foot.) ft
