A surveyor, Toby, measures the distance between two landmarks and the point where he stands. He also measured the angles between

the landmarks in degrees.
the triangle has
two sides(65,55)
angles (40,30)

What is the distance, x, between the two landmarks? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

98.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure

AB = 55

AD = 65

∠ABC=40°

∠ADC = 30°

We are supposed to find the distance between the two landmarks i.e. BD = BC+CD

In ΔABC

Cos \theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

Cos 40^{\circ} = \frac{BC}{AB}

0.76604444= \frac{BC}{55}

0.76604444 \times 55 =BC

42.132442 =BC

In ΔADC

Cos \theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

Cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{CD}{AD}

0.8660254= \frac{CD}{65}

0.8660254 \times 65 =CD

56.291651 =CD

So, BD = BC+CD=42.132442+56.291651=98.424≈ 98.5

Hence the distance between the two landmarks is 98.5 m.

The Set Up:

x² = (Side1)² + (Side2)² - 2[(Side1)(Side2)]

Solution:

cos(Toby's Angle) • x² = 55² + 65² - 2[(55)(65)] cos(110°)

x² = 3025 + 4225 -7150[cos(110°)]

x² = 7250 - 2445.44x =

√4804.56x = 69.31m

The distance, x, between two landmarks is 69.31m.

Note: The answer choices given are incorrect.

A gallon of Moo Milk cost $5.12. What is the price, in dollars, of an 8 oz glassof Moo Milk?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
The cost for a gallon of Moo Milk is $5.12
To find the cost of 8 fl. oz. of Moo Milk, the unit price must be found.

Therefore:

One gallon of liquid equals 128 fluid ounces. 

5.12 ÷ 128 = 0.04

0.04 × 8 = 0.32

Therefore, the cost of 8 fluid ounces of Moo Milk is $0.032 

I hope this helped - Maria S.
