Lucy has two star systems left to visit on her voyage, but her ship is running low on fuel. The first system, KA-77, is 12001200

light years (\text{l.Y.})(l.Y.) away while the second system, KA-1111, is 1700\text{ l.Y.}1700 l.Y.. Her top priority is to visit star system KA-77. To determine if she'll also be able to visit KA-1111, she must find the distance between KA-77 and KA-1111. If Lucy sees an angle of 52^\circ52 ? between KA-77 and KA-1111, how far are KA-77 and KA-1111 apart? Do not round during your calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest light year

Answer:

 1348 light years.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x represent the distance between KA-7 and KA-11.

We have been given that the first system, KA-7, is 1200 light years away while the second system, KA-11, is 1700 light years away. Lucy sees an angle of 52 degrees between KA-7 and KA-11.

We can see from our attachment that Lucy, KA-7 and KA-11 forms a triangle and we will use law of cosines to solve for x.  

(AB)^2=(AC)^2+(BC)^2-2(AC)(BC)*cos (C)

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

x^2=1200^2+1700^2-2*1200*1700*cos (52^o)  

x^2=1440000+2890000-4080000*0.615661475

x^2=4330000-2511898.81933008

x^2=1818101.18066992

Let us take square root of both sides of our equation.

x=\sqrt{1818101.18066992}

x=1348.3698234\approx 1348

Therefore, KA-7 and KA-11 are approximately 1348 light years apart.

A maps key shows that every 5 inches on the map represents 200 miles of actual distance. Suppose the distance between two cities
ryzh [129]
Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

Short answer: 280 miles.

Why?

You can find this out by finding out how much 1 in is by dividing 200 by 5. (200 / 5 ==> 40) So 1 in = 40 miles. Now, we multiply that by 7, so we can find out how much 7 in would be. (7 * 4 ==> 280) 7 inches on the map represents 280 miles.

Hope this helped you! ♥
