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

BaLLatris [955]
I would say between 2 and 4 because you are using ration  recipe 4:  8 :4 10:5 
12:6
 recipe 2: 6:3 10:5 14:7 all you doing is trying to find whats  ratio is greater.. hope it helps

Simplify. rewrite the expression in the form 9^n:<br><br> 9^-3/9^12
sashaice [31]

Answer:

9 ^ (-15)

Step-by-step explanation:

9^-3/9^12

We know that a^b/ a^c = a^(b-c)

9^-3/9^12 = 9 ^(-3-12)

                  =9^(-15)

Sorry I did the first part but can u pls do part b and c thanks
bezimeni [28]
Part B: It would be 8x+24. You get 4x+12 and double(times 2) it, it would be 8x+24.
Part C: Yes, because the relationship between the ratio would always be proportional.
