Answer:

A-0.5777miles

B-0.7223miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be truck with 58°, B be truck with 52° elevation and C be the position of the fire. We know that the AB is 1.3 miles apart.

-Using sine rule, we find the length of AB and BC as:

\angle C=180-(58+52)=70\textdegree\\\\\frac{a}{sin \ A}=\frac{b}{sin \ B}=\frac{c}{sin \ C}\\\\\frac{1.3}{sin \ 70}=\frac{b}{sin \ 52}\\\\b=\frac{1.3 sin \ 52}{sin 70}=1.0902mi\\\\\\c=\frac{1.3 sin \ 58}{sin 70}=1.1732

#Bisect angle C, and use sine rule again to find the lengths of bisected AB:

\frac{a}{sin \ A}=\frac{b}{sin \ B}=\frac{c}{sin \ C}\\\\\frac{1.0902}{sin \ 90}=\frac{x}{sin \ (90-58)}\\\\x=\frac{1.0902\ sin \ 32}{sin \ 90}=0.5777mi

Truck B's position is calculated as 1.3mi-0.5777miles=0.7223miles

Hence, truck one is 0.5777miles and truck two is 0.7223 miles from the fire.

Answer:

O <u>4th option</u> : <u>(-4, -2)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ 9x - 9y = -18

⇒ -<u>6x + 9y = 6</u>

  • 3x = -12
  • x = -4

  • 9(-4) - 9y = -18
  • -36 - 9y = -18
  • -9y = 18
  • y = -2

⇒ (x , y)

⇒ <u>(-4, -2)</u>
