Step-by-step explanation:
In Raphael's example, the robot moves in a perfect triangle. A perfect triangle is known to have three equal sides and three equal angles of 60° each. Raphael's example mentions the length of two sides of the triangle as 3m and 4m and it also mentions the angle the robot turns 120°
Therefore the angle created is 180°-120°= 60° which is an angle of a perfect triangle.
The distance that the robot has to calculate would be equal to the length of the third side of the triangle
lets assume the length of the third side of the triangle to be and the two remaining angles to be a and b.
To get the distance , let's list out what we know about this triangle.
side a = 3m
side b = 4m
side c =<em> β</em>
Angle 1 = Angle made between side 2 and 3 = A
Angle 2 = Angle made between side 1 and 3 = B
Angle β = Angle made between side 1 and 2 = 60°
The law of cosines states that
=
+
- 2ab(cosβ)
=
+
- 2×3×4(cos 60)
= 9 + 16 - 24(0.5)
= 9 + 16 - 12
= 13
<em>β</em> =
<em>β</em> = 3.6055512755 m
The distance the robot will compute is 3.61 meter to the nearest hundredth.
