Question

PLZ HELP ON THIS AH its another trigonometry question:

Answer 1

Answer:

523.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The drawing attached represents the question. We create a triangle with the distances from each pair of cities, and we call the distance from B to C by 'd'.

First, we need to find the angle BAC:

55° + BAC + 7° = 90°

BAC = 28°

Then, we can use the law of cosines to find the value of d:

d^2 = 470^2 + 890^2 - 2*470*890*cos(BAC)

d^2 = 470^2 + 890^2 - 2*470*890*0.8829

d^2 = 274365.86

d = 523.8 miles
