Let x be the angle. The complement is 3x + 10. The sum of two complementary angles is 90. So,
x + 3x + 10 = 90
4x + 10 = 90
4x = 80
x = 20
Plug x into the complement
3(20) + 10 = 70
The angle is 20 degrees and the complement is 70 degrees
Answer:
183 miles to the nearest mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance =Speed X Time
Distance of Truck B from point A=45 X2 =90 miles
Distance of Truck C from point A=55 X2 =110 miles
Angles between them, BAC=132°
We want to find the Distance BC denoted by a between the trucks.
Using Cosine Rule,
a²=b²+c²-2bcCos A
=90²+110²-(2X90X110XCos132°)
=33448.79
a=√33448.79
BC=182.89 miles
The distance between the trucks is 183 miles to the nearest mile.
