Answer:

2.38 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From Given diagram:

In ΔABC,

AC=2.5 miles

BC= 3.7 miles

∠BCA= 39.4°

Now as we have two sides and an angle, using law of cosines to find the third side:

c= √(a^2+b^2-2abcosα

AB=√(AC)^2 + (BC)^2 - 2(AC)(BC)cosα

    =√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)cos(39.4°)

    =√(2.5)^2 + (3.7)^2 - 2(2.5)(3.7)(0.77)

   =√(5.695)

     = 2.38 !

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + y < 2

y > –2

Substitute the point into the inequalities and see if they are true

4(4) + 2 < 2

16+2 < 2

18 <2  False

2 > –2  True

Since one is false the point is not a solution
