Given that the two watchtowers spotted fire in the distance and watch tower 2 was 27 miles from the fire. Assuming that the fire is in the middle of both watch towers, then the distance between the two watch towers will be given by:
distance=[distance of fire from watch tower 1]+[distance of fire from watch tower 2]
=27+27
=53 miles
Answer: I'm pretty sure its a or the first one ^w^
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Angle 2 measures 58°
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of all three angles formed = 180
Because the sum of angles on a straight line is always 180
Angle 1 =3x-4
Angle 2 = 4x+10
Angle 3= 90° (given)
So,
90+3x-4+4x+10=180
(4x+3x)+(90+10-4)= 180
7x+96=180
Bring 96 to the other side, making it negative,
7x = 180-96 = 84
x = 12
Therefore angle 2
= 4x+10
= (4)(12)+10
=48+10
=58°
