Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

To the nearest mile, the distance between train station C from train station B is 75 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : A train leaves train station A and heads due west for 105 miles to reach train station B. Another train leaves train station A at the same time and travels 85 miles to train station C in a direction 45° north of west from station A.

We have to find the distance between train station C from train station B.

We first draw the position of stations according to given statement.

Figure shown below in attachment.

Since we have to find the distance BC , Let BC = x

For a triangle ABC, with ∠A = 45° and AB = 105 m and AC = 85 m

Using Cosine rule,

BC=\sqrt{CA^2+AB^2-2\cdot AB\cdot AC\cdot \cos A }

Substitute, we have,

x=\sqrt{(85)^2+(105)^2-2\cdot 85\cdot 105\cdot \cos 45^{\circ}}

Simplify , we have,

x=75.020

Thus, to the nearest mile, the distance between train station C from train station B is 75 miles.

Hello,

Answer A

Theorem of Al Kashi gives:

x²=105²+85²-2*105*85*√2/2=5628.14395...
x=75.0209... (mi)

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST FOR BEST ANSWER I NEED THIS NOW! THANK YOU!

What we know:
Football field is 100 yards in length
End zones are 10 yards each in length
Perimeter between pylons is 306 2/3 yards

What we need to find:
a. Perimeter and area of one end zone
b. Perimeter and area of without end zones
c. Perimeter and area of playing field with end zones

First we need to find the measurements of the field between pylons using the perimeter of 306 2/3 yards. We already know the length is 100 yards so we need to find width (w).

P=2l + 2w
306 2/3=2 (100) + 2w
306 2/3= 200 + 2w
300 2/3-200=200-200+2w
106 2/3=2w
106 2/3/2=2/2w
53 1/3=w

a. Perimeter=2 (10)+2 (53 1/3)=126 2/3 yards
Area=10×53 1/3=533 1/3 yd²
b. Perimeter=2 (100)+2 (53 1/3)=306 2/3 yards
Area=100×53 1/3=5333 1/3 yd²
c. Perimeter=2 (120) + 2 (53 1/3)=346 2/3 yards
Area=120×53 1/3=6400 yd²
