Answer:
He can go 10.78 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solve by creating a proportion, knowing that 15.4 miles is to one gallon the same as "x" miles (our unknown) is to 0.7 gallons. This can be set in math terms as the equation that relates these two ratios of miles per gallon:
and to solve for the unknown number of mile, we multiply both sides of the equation by "0.7 gallon" in order to isolate our unknown:
Answer:
A ≈ 119.7°, b ≈ 25.7, C ≈ 24.3°
Step-by-step explanation:
A suitable app or calculator does this easily. (Since you're asking here, you're obviously not unwilling to use technology to help.)
_____
Given two sides and the included angle, the Law of Cosines can help you find the third side.
... b² = a² + c² - 2ac·cos(B)
... b² = 38² + 18² -2·38·18·cos(36°) ≈ 661.26475
... b ≈ 25.715
Then the Law of Sines can help you find the other angles. It can work well to find the smaller angle first (the one opposite the shortest side). That way, you can tell if the larger angle is obtuse or acute.
... sin(C)/c = sin(B)/b
... C = arcsin(c/b·sin(B)) ≈ 24.29515°
This angle and angle B add to less than 90°, so the remaining angle is obtuse. (∠A can also be found as 180° - ∠B - ∠C.)
... A = arcsin(a/b·sin(B)) ≈ 119.70485°
