Triangle A B C is shown as the path of a ferry. Side A B is 3.5 miles long. The ferry turns 75 degrees to side B C. Side B C is

6 miles long. Side C A has an unknown length d.
A ferry transports passengers to three different ports. From port A, the ferry travels east 3.5 miles to port B. The ship then turns 75° south and travels for 6 miles to reach port C. What is the distance d from port C to port A? Approximate to the nearest tenth of a mile.

The length of C from A is 3.5 miles if AB=3.5 miles and BC is 6 miles .

Given The length of triangle ABC AB=3.5 miles , BC=6miles and AC=d

We have to find the value of d

First of all we have to draw a perpendicular from point A on side BC .

It forms two triangles ABE and AEC if E is the point where perpendicular stands on BC.

In triangle BEA

AE=\sqrt{3.5^{2} -3^{2} }

=\sqrt{12.25-9}

=\sqrt{3.25}

=1.8

Now in triangle AEC

AC=\sqrt{1.8^{2} +3^{2} }

=\sqrt{3.24+9}

=\sqrt{12.24}

=\sqrt{12.24}

=3.49 MILES

By rounding off to the nearest tenth we will get 3.4 miles

Hence the value of d is 3.4 miles.

Distributive property of<br> 36+ 9y
vaieri [72.5K]
Find the greatest common factor (GCF)
in this case it would be 9

divide each term by the GCF
36 / 9 = 4
9y / 9 = y

put the two "new" terms in parenthesis and the GCF in front of it
9 (4 + y)
it could also be 9 (y + 4) because of Commutative Property of Addition
