Exterior angle theorem
16x - 7 = 8x + 2 + 10x - 19 ===> 16x -7 = 18x - 17
16x - 16x - 7 = 18x - 16x - 17 ===> -7 = 2x - 17
-7 + 17 = 2x - 17 + 17 ===> 10 = 2x ======> 5 = x
Plug x in to each equation.
Angle P: 8(5) + 2 = 42 deg, Angle Q: 10(5) - 19 = 31
The sum of interior angles = 180. 180 - 42 -31 = 107 deg (angle of PRQ)
To check that line other angle : 16(5) -7 = 73 deg + 107 = 180 deg
We can solve this by drawing a triangle with three points. The first point at Fort Collins (F), the second at Cheyenne (C) and the third at Laramie (L).
The angle at F = 46.5, the angle at L = 43.6. We know the side opposite angle L = 3.2 (side FC), now we must solve for the side opposite angle F (side LC).
We can use the law of sines to solve this where:
sinA/a = sinB/b
sin43.6/ 3.2 = sin46.5/LC
LC = 3.2 (sin46.5/sin43.6)
LC = 3.37 inches
We are told 1 in = 10.6 miles, therefore:
3.37 inches x 10.6 miles/in = 36 miles from Laramie to Cheyenne.
