Find width of the river given the measurements

In order to find the width of a river, two points A and B were taken on one bank so that AB is approximately parallel to the river. A well defined point C on the other side was marked. With an adjustable cross staff, angle BAC=40 and angle ABC=55 were measured.

Find the width of the river if AB=200.
