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.

Dana walks 3/4 miles in 1/4 hours. What is dana's walking rate in miles per hour?
Harman [31]

Dana’s waking rate in miles per hour is 3 mph.

I did 3/4 x 4 = 3 because she walked 1/4 a mile and I needed to figure out the miles per one whole hour.

I hope this made sense and helped you.
