Answer:

BR ≈ 49.0

Explanation:

Use cosine:


cosine=(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)

We have


adjacent=42\\hypotenuse=BR\\\alpha=31^o


\cos31^o\approx0.8572

Substitute:


(42)/(BR)=0.8572


(42)/(BR)=(8,572)/(10,000) cross multiply


8,572BR=420,000 divide both sides by 8,572


BR=(420,000)/(8,572)


BR\approx49.0
