The distance between two points is the number of units between them.
The distance between pier A and pier B is 339 ft
How to calculate the distance between pier A and pier B
From the complete question, we have the following sine equation
[tex]\frac{a}{\sin(A)} = \frac{b}{\sin(B)}[/tex]
So, the equation becomes
[tex]\frac{200}{\sin(27)} = \frac{b}{\sin(50)}[/tex]
Evaluate the sine ratios
[tex]\frac{200}{0.4540} = \frac{b}{0.7693}[/tex]
Evaluate the quotient
[tex]440.53 = \frac{b}{0.7693}[/tex]
Make b the subject
[tex]b = 440.53 * 0.7693[/tex]
[tex]b = 339[/tex]
Hence, pier A is 339 feet from pier B
