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.

Central Park is a rectangular-shaped park in the middle of New York City. The area of the park is 3.41 square kilometers.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

4,262.50 m

842 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Park is rectangular in shape

Width of park = 800 m

Area of park = 3.41 km²

Width of park = 800 / 1000 = 0.8 km

Area of rectangle, A

A = l * w

l = Length ; w = width

3.41 = l * 0.8

3.41 = 0.8l

l = 3.41 / 0.8

l = 4.2625 km

Hence, length in meters :

4.2625 * 1000

= 4,262.50 m

B.)

1 km² is approximately 247 acres

3.41km² = 3.41 * 247

3.41 km² = 842.27

= 842 acres

If line L is parallel to line K, then they
ddd [48]

An equivalent statement will be if lines L and K intersect, then they are not parallel.

<h3>Parallel lines</h3>

Parallel lines are lines that do not meet. The angle between the parallel lines is 0 degrees

The statement if line L is parallel to line K, then they will never intersect is true and an equivalent statement will be if lines L and K intersect, then they are not parallel.

This is determined using the contrapositive statements
