Answer:
the angle between their paths is <em>100.8°</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information, you can construct a triangle, just like the one in the figure.
We will use the <em>Cosine Rule</em> which is:
c² = b² + a² - 2 b c cos(θ)
where
- c = 16 miles
- b = 8 miles
- a = 12 miles
Therefore,
2 b c cos(θ) = b² + a² - c²
cos(θ) = (b² + a² - c²) / 2 b c
θ = cos⁻¹( (b² + a² - c²) / (2 b c) )
θ = cos⁻¹( (8² + 12² - 16²) / 2(8)(16) )
<em>θ = 100.8°</em>
<em></em>
Therefore, the angle between their paths is <em>100.8°</em>
B
The equation of a line in ' point- slope form ' is
y - b = m( x - a )
where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line
here m = and (a, b ) = (3, 2 )
y - 2 = ( x - 3 ) → in point- slope form
