On a map the distance from Fort Collins to Cheyenne is 3.2 inches. The angle formed at Laramie has measure 43.6º, and the angle

formed at Fort Collins has measure 46.5º. If one inch on the map is equal to 10.6 miles, find the distance from Cheyenne to Laramie to the nearest whole mile

36 miles. Call <span>Fort Collins point F, Cheyenne, point C, and Laramie point L. We know that angle F=46.5 degrees, angle L=43.6 degrees, and FC=3.2 inches. </span>Use the law of sines, sinF/LC=sinL/FC,  LC=sin46.5*3.2/sin43.6=2.32/0.69=3.36 inches. Since one inch represents 10.6 miles, 3.36 inches is 36 miles, the distance from L to C.

Answer : Distance from Cheyenne to Laramie = 36 miles .

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Distance from Fort Collins to Cheyenne =3.2 inches

Angle formed at Laramie =43.6\textdegree

Angle formed at Fort Collins =46.5\textdegree

Since we have drawn our figure mentioning the cordinates as L,F, C where L represents Laramie, F represents Fort Collins and C represents Cheyenne

Now, we use the cosine- sine formula  which is given by

\frac{\sin(A)}{A}=\frac{\sin(B)}{B}

\frac{sin(43.6\textdegree)}{3.2}=\frac{sin (46.5\textdegree)}{x}\\\\\frac{0.689619543}{3.2}=\frac{0.725374371}{x}\\\\

\text{ By cross multiplication, we get}\\\\x=\frac{2.32}{0.69}\\\\x=3.36\text{ inches}

Now, we will change it into miles ,

\text{ So ,Distance from Cheyenne to Laramie }=3.36\times 10.6=35.616

But we want it in nearest whole mile ,

So, distance from Cheyenne to Laramie = 36 miles .

Two angles are complementary. The measurement of ∠GHI is (5x+6)∘ and ∠JKL measures (3x+4)∘. What are the measures of the two ang
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Angle GHI measures 56º, and angle JKL measures 34º.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary Angles:

If two angles are complementary, the sum of their measures is 90º.

∠GHI is (5x+6)∘ and ∠JKL measures (3x+4)∘.

Since they are complementary:

5x + 6 + 3x + 4 = 90

8x + 10 = 90

8x = 90 - 10

8x = 80

x = \frac{80}{8}

x = 10

Measures:

GHI: 5*10 + 6 = 50 + 6 = 56º

JKL: 3*10 + 4 = 30 + 4 = 34º.

Angle GHI measures 56º, and angle JKL measures 34º.

Factor x^3 -7x^2 -5x+35 by grouping. what is the resulting expression
Anni [7]

Answer:

(x-7) (x^2-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 -7x^2 -5x+35

Make 2 groups

x^3 -7x^2      -5x+35

Factor x^2 from the first group and -5 from the second group

x^2 (x-7)       -5(x-7)

Now factor (x-7) out

(x-7) (x^2-5)
