A surveyor, Toby, measures the distance between two landmarks and the point where he stands. He also measured the angles between

the landmarks in degrees.
What is the distance, x, between the two landmarks? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

What we know so far:
Side 1 = 55m
Side 2 = 65m
Angle 1 = 40°
Angle 2 = 30°

What we are looking for:
Toby's Angle = ?
The distance x = ?

We need to look for Toby's angle so that we can solve for the distance x by assuming that the whole figure is a SAS (Side Angle Side) triangle.

Solving for Toby's Angle:
We know for a fact that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°; therefore,
180° - (Side 1 + Side 2) = Toby's Angle
Toby's Angle  = 180° - (40° + 30°)
Toby's Angle = 110°

Since we already have Toby's angle, we can now solve for the distance x by using the law of cosines r² = p²+ q²<span>− 2pq cos R where r is x, p is Side1, q is Side2, and R is Toby's Angle.
</span>
x² = Side1² + Side2² - 2[(Side1)(Side2)] cos(Toby's Angle)
x² = 55² + 65² - 2[(55)(65)] cos(110°)
x² = 3025 + 4225 -7150[cos(110°)]
x² = 7250 - 2445.44
x = √4804.56
x = 69.31m

∴The distance, x, between two landmarks is 69.31m

Hya think of a number "m" . She square it, add "y" to the answer and then subtract 7 from it. The final answer is "A". 1) Derive
Bond [772]
<h2><u>Solution (1)</u> :</h2>

Given, to find A we have to :

  • square m
  • Add y to m²
  • Subtract 7 from m² + y

From the question, the following equation can be formed :

=\tt  A = {m}^{2}   + y - 7

Therefore, the formula for finding A = m² + y - 7

<h2><u>Solution (2)</u> :</h2>

The value of A we can derive from the formula is :

=\tt A =  {m}^{2}  + y - 7

Value of m = 3 (given)

Which means :

=\tt A =   {3}^{2}  + y  - 7

=\tt \: A = 9 + y - 7

=\tt A = 9 - 7 + y

\color{plum} =\tt A = 2 + y

Thus, the value of A = 2+y

Therefore, the value of A = <u>2+y</u>

Leah's parents are planning to give her a gift and want to wrap it first. The gift is in a rectangular box with a height of 3 in
jekas [21]
128 square inches of wrapping paper, since the width would be the Z Axis, That would make a Square 3X4= 12, 12X2= 24. 3X7= 21X4= 104, 104+24=128? That's what I figured. Can you send me a photo of the problem?
