Answer: 24.49 or 24.5 if rounded.
Step-by-step explanation: We have to use the pythagorean theorem of course...
a² + b² = c²
15² + 20² = c²
225 + 400 = c²
600 = c²
c = 24.49 (If we round to the nearest tenth then the answer is 24.5)
Answer:
y= 
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+3y=C
isolate y
3y=C-2x
y=
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by drawing a triangle with three points. The first point at Fort Collins (F), the second at Cheyenne (C) and the third at Laramie (L).
The angle at F = 46.5, the angle at L = 43.6. We know the side opposite angle L = 3.2 (side FC), now we must solve for the side opposite angle F (side LC).
We can use the law of sines to solve this where:
sinA/a = sinB/b
sin43.6/ 3.2 = sin46.5/LC
LC = 3.2 (sin46.5/sin43.6)
LC = 3.37 inches
We are told 1 in = 10.6 miles, therefore:
3.37 inches x 10.6 miles/in = 36 miles from Laramie to Cheyenne.
