x = 58°

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the diagram, lines HI and JK are parallel to each other.

∠AHI = 60°

∠JKI = 62°

∠JKI and ∠HIA are equal because when two lines are parallel then the corresponding angles are equal.

So,

∠JKI = ∠HIA = 62°

In ΔHIA,

∠AHI + ∠HIA + ∠IAH = 180°

60° + 62°+ x = 180°

122° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 122°

x = 58°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At 1100 ft per second for 18 seconds, the sound travels 19,800 ft, or 3.75 miles farther to my friend's house. The set of points that lie 3.75 miles farther from my friend's house than from my house form a hyperbolic curve. This is illustrated by the blue line in the attached graph. (My house is the red dot on the left; my friend's house is the red dot on the right.)

The lightning occurred somewhere on the blue curve.

___

If the lightning occurred on the line between our houses, it was 1/8 mile from my house and 3 7/8 mile from my friend's house. (That's close!)

_____

The formula for the curve in the graph is the distance formula applied to the set of points (x, y). It equates the difference of distance from the two houses to 3.75 miles. If one were to write the equation of the hyperbola in standard form, the equation would look a little different and a restriction would need to be applied so the formula would describe only one branch of the hyperbola.
