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>
