Answer:

71.10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you have to remember the laws of the triangles and the law of sines, this states that every triangle´s sum of the inner angles are 180º

This means that if angle A is 65º and angle B is 80º angle C which would be the angle created on the top oof the mountain byt the lines that conect the top of the mountain with person A and B would be 35º.

Now the law of sines goes like this:

\frac{A}{Sine angle A}=\frac{B}{Sine angle B}=\frac{C}{Sine angle C}

If you put the values of the different angles you´d get:

\frac{x}{sine 65}=\frac{45}{sine 35}

When you clear the equation it will end up like this:

x= \frac{(sine 65)(45)}{sine 35}

x= 71.1

See the picture to better understand the problem

we know that
in the triangle ABC
∠A+∠B+∠C=180°
find ∠C
∠C=180-[80+65]------> ∠C=35°

Applying the law of sines

AB/sin C=CB/sin A
solve for CB
CB=AB*sin A/sin C-----> CB=45*sin 65/sin 35-----> CB=71.10 ft

the answer is
<span>the distance from person B to the top of the hill is 71.10 feet</span>

Find the area of triangle ABC when b= 141 degrees a= 7 and c=8
Vlad [161]
  You basically use the formula height*base/2 to find the area of the triangle. For instance, let's say a is your chosen base, which has a length of 7. You then use the pythagorean theorem of the right triangle (which is formed by splitting the triangle in half), which is a^2+b^2=c^2, and you substitute half your base for a and the other length (8) for c, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Note how this is all being done to find "b", which is the height of the triangle, which will then help you substitute all of your known values into the area formula of a triangle to answer your question. I'm not sure if b=141 degrees would have an impact on this question, but I hope this helped you in some way.
