The people of Bridgetown wanted to build a bridge across a nearby river. Since they were poor swimmers, their
master Trigonomos agreed to measure the width of the river without actually crossing it.
Trigonomos spotted a tree across the river and marked the spot directly across from it. Then he walked to

connecting him to the tree was 40°.
