Raymond has taken a position as the navigator on a speed boat racing team. The team entered a race that starts at Daytona Beach,

Florida. The first leg of the race course has them traveling due east for 140 miles. They turn right and travel 160 miles for the second leg of the race. They make another right turn to start the third and final leg of the race, in which they will travel 180 miles back to the starting point at Daytona Beach. What is the measure of the turn between the second and third legs of the race? Round your answer to the nearest degree.

Answer:

48 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the angle between the second and third legs of the race by substituting the three side lengths of the triangle in the Law of Cosines.

Using the rules of cosines, the <span>measure of the turn between the second and third legs of the race</span> is given by

\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{180^2+160^2-140^2}{2\times180\times160} \right)=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{32,400+26,600-19,600}{57,600} \right) \\  \\ =\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{39,400}{57,600} \right)=\cos^{-1}(0.6840)\approx47^o

Answer:

It is 40 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start off by understanding this is not a right angle (exactly 90 degrees, think of a corner of a room) or and obtuse angle (more than 90 degrees, bigger than a right angle). With that information we know that it is an acute angle (less than 90 degrees, smaller than a right angle). With that we have 40 and 50 degrees left. When you compare the angle with the 40 degrees one, it is the same size. The angle 1 is a reflection of the triangle with the 40 degrees angle. Hope this helps :)
