Answer:
m∠A = 106°
Step-by-step explanation:
All three sides of the triangle are given in the question.
To find the measure of included angle A between two sides we will apply cosine formula,
BC²= AB² + AC² - 2(AB)(AC)cosA
(13)² = (10)² + (6)² - 2(10)(6)cosA
169 = 100 + 36 - 120cosA
cosA =
cosA = -0.275
A =
A = 105.96°
A ≈ 106°
Therefore, m∠A = 106° will be the answer.
The question is incomplete. The map is attached as a photo and here is the complete question:
a. What is the actual distance between Saugerties and
Kingston? ___________________________
b. Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties. What would the
distance on the map be? ___________________________
c. On another map, the distance between Saugerties and
Kingston is 2 inches. What would the distance from Saugerties to
Catskill be on this map? __________________
Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:
Answer:
<u>The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be </u><u>3 inches</u><u> on this map.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is <u>1 inch = 2.5 miles.</u>
To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:
1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles
4 inches ------ x miles
Cross multiplying:
1x = 2.5 x 4
x = 10 miles
The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.
On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles
The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.
Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:
1 inch -------- 5 miles
y inch ------- 15 miles
Cross multiplying:
15 = 5y
y = 15/5
<u>y = 3 inches.</u>
The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.
