Answer:

5.25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to determine the distance between Lighthouse A and Lighthouse B in the diagram.

Using Law of Cosines

c^2=a^2+b^2-2abCosC\\c^2=7^2+4^2-2(7)(4)Cos48^\circ\\c^2=27.5287\\c=\sqrt{27.5287} \\c=5.25\: miles

The distance between lighthouses is 5.25 miles.

How do you get the answer to a math problem -k+h+kh k=-5 h=-2
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Final answer is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is

-k+h+kh

We also have been given values of h and k as:

k=-5 h=-2

to simplify the given expression, we just need to plug the given values of k=-5 and h=-2 into -k+h+kh

-k+h+kh

=-(-5)+(-2)+(-5)(-2)

=5+(-2)+(-5)(-2)

=5-2+(-5)(-2)

=5-2+(10)

=5-2+10

=3+10

= 13

Hence final answer is 13.
