Answer:
6 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle described in the question has been sketched in the picture attached below :
From the triangle, we could solve for X, which is the base of the triangle using trigonometry :
Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus
Sin 30° = x / 12
0.5 = x / 12
x = 12 * 0.5
x = 6 feets
Hence base, x = 6 feets
First, think this through. If you are 23 miles from Sacramento, and 110 miles from Oakland (I am assuming it is miles since you didn't specify *cough cough*) then the two cities are 133 miles apart (also assuming you are in between them)
so, we use the midpoint formula to find our position
and get 66.5 miles from both Sacramento and Oakland.
Next, we already know the sign is 23 miles away from Sacramento so we can use that distance and our position to figure out how far away the sign is. We use absolute values because distance is always positive.
so we get
to double check, use the sign's distance from Oakland.
so, we are 43.5 miles from the sign!
hope this helps
