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.

the real factored out form is 8(x-2)(x+1)
