X = 80
y = 85

If you look at only the left triangle, you can see that x is part of one of the angles. The 3 interior angles of the triangle add up to 180 degrees, so subtracting the other two angles, you get x + 30 = 110, or x = 80.

The same method can be used for the other triangle to find y.

This problem requires the Pythagorean therom.

The distance between them is 7.

Since the distance between them is one more mile than ray's distance from home ray is 6 miles from home.

So rosa is $\sqrt{7^2-6^2}$

So rosa is $\sqrt{13}$ miles away from home.

Rosa is about 3.6 miles from home.
