Square root of three or 1.7320
Answer:
one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 3 = 5x + 5 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
2x - 3 = 5 ( add 3 to both sides )
2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 4
Tan = opposite/ adjacent
tan 60 = v/14
14 tan 60 = v
v = 24.24871.....
v = 24.2 (nearest tenth)
cos = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos 60 = 14/u
u = 14/cos 60
u = 28
We are given with
29 miles distance in a straight travel
21 miles up to an intersection, if the farmer has to travel 5 miles to the right, then 10 miles left and 5 miles left, the total distance would be 41 miles
The difference in the distance is 41 miles - 29 miles = 12 miles<span />
