Answer:

46.2 mi is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we will follow the property of congruence of two triangles.

Here two triangles formed are triangle formed by Alba, Cray and Blare and a triangle formed by Service station, Cray and Blare.

The distance between Alba and Blare = 130 mi

The distance between Alba and Cray = 120 mi

As we know in the congruent triangles all sides are in the same ratio.

Now we apply the property of the theorem

$\frac{Distance(Alba-Cray)}{Distance(Alba-Blare)}= \frac{Distance(Cray-Service station)}{Distance(Cray-Blare)}$

$\frac{120}{130}=\frac{x}{50}$

$x=50\frac{120}{130}$

x = 46.2 mi

Explanation:

There are numerous videos and web sites that can show you the process of copying an angle. Some are animated. The best we can do here is show you a diagram with instructions. Of course, your curriculum materials already provide that.

1. Set the compass to a convenient radius. Use that to draw an arc through rays ED and EF, using point E as the center.

2. Without changing the compass setting, draw a similar arc using S as the center, making sure it crosses the line containing S and extends far enough to accommodate the following steps. (In the attached, we show a full circle, because the tool we used won't draw an arc with a specific radius.)

3. Mark the points where the arc crosses ED as G, and where it crosses EF as H. Mark the point where the arc crosses the line containing S as I.

4. Set the compass radius to the distance GH. Using I as the center draw an arc with that radius so that it crosses the one made in step 2. Call that intersection point J. (Again, we have shown a circle because of the limitations of the tool being used for our diagram.)

5. Draw ray SJ to complete the angle copy.
