Answer:
18.0
Step-by-step explanation:
==>Given:
Triangle with sides, 16, 30, and x, and a measure of an angle corresponding to x = 30°
==>Required:
Value of x to the nearest tenth
==>Solution:
Using the Cosine rule: c² = a² + b² - 2abcos(C)
Let c = x,
a = 16
b = 30
C = 30°
Thus,
c² = 16² + 30² - 2*16*30*cos 30°
c² = 256 + 900 - 960 * 0.8660
c² = 1,156 - 831.36
c² = 324.64
c = √324.64
c = 18.017769
x ≈ 18.0 (rounded to nearest tenth)
Proportional:
82.8 / 92 = 0.9
73.8 / 82 = 0.9
so
FG / 47 = 0.9
FG = 47 * 0.9
FG = 42.3
answer
The distance between 2 campsites is 42.3 m.
X is 3 y is 4 hope this helps :)
