Answer:

42.30 m

Explanation:

Let's take the distance between the campsite, AB, to be "x".

Since the two triangles are similar, their corresponding side lengths are proportional. Therefore:

47/x = 82/73.8

Cross multiply

x*82 = 47*73.8

x = (47*73.8)/82

x = 3,468.6/82

x = AB = 42.30 m (nearest hundredth)
