I think AVM= 35 degrees
Hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Trigonometry:</h3>
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
What you do is stack the fractions and subtract 9-3 and you get 6 and bring down the 8 and subtract 5-3 and you get 6 6/8
