Answer:
5.543 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines can help with this. It relates side "c" of a triangle to the other two sides (a, b) and the angle between them (C).
c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)
c² = 3² + 3² -2·3·3·cos(135°) = 18(1 -cos(135°)) ≈ 30.7279
c ≈ √30.7279 ≈ 5.543 . . . . miles
- -5 is always smaller than -4. So, x might be -4. So, A is an option you should select.
- 2 is greater than -4. So, x might be -4. So, B is an option you should select.
- If we place -4 in x, we get 3(-4)+4, i.e., -12 + 4 = -8. So, 3x + 4 = -8. Therefore, you cannot select C because it cannot be greater than, it should be always equal to.
- 5(-4) = -20, 2(-4) - 3 = -8 -3 = -11. -11 is greater than -20 but they are never equal. So, you cannot select D.
- 4 - 2(-4) = 4 + 8 = 12. 12 is greater than -6. Therefore, you should select E.
