Answer:

A. 183 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Building A and building B are 500 meters apart. There is no road between them, so to drive from building A to building B, it is necessary to first drive to building C and then to building B. About how much farther is it to drive than to walk directly from building A to building B? Round to the nearest whole number. A) 183 meters B) 250 meters C) 366 meters D) 683 meters

Find distance BC

Cos (60°)=BC / AB (Adjacent divided by the hypotenuse)

Cos (60°)=1/2

BC=a

AB=500

Cos (60°)=BC / AB

1/2=a/500

1/2 * 500=a

250=a

a=250m

Find distance AC

Sin(60°)=AC/AB (opposite side divided by hypotenuse)

Sin(60°)=√3/2

AC=b

AB=500

Sin(60°)=AC/AB

√3/2=b/500

√3/2 * 500=b

250√3=b

b=433m

Distance AC and BC=AC+BC

433m+250m=683m

Subtract the distance AB from AC+BC

= 683m - 500m

=183m

Answer is A. 183 meters

A 24 inch board is cut into 3 pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first and the third is 3 times as long as
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total length = 24 inches

first piece = x in

second piece = 2x

third piece = 3x

Equation

               x + 2x + 3x = 24

               6x = 24

               x = 24/6

               x = 4               length of the first piece

second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches

third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches
