This is another one for my "impossible geometry" file.
If X is the midpoint of both AD and BE, then ABDE is a parallelogram, and
point C cannot exist.
The congruent segments are
BX ≅ EX
AX ≅ DX
Of course, vertical angles AXB and DXE are congruent.
Then,
by SAS, the congruent triangles are
ΔAXB ≅ ΔDXE
or
ΔABX ≅ ΔDEXSelection C is close, but has points D and E swapped. The figure is misleading, which may be a contributor to the problem.
Answer:
the distance between the other two subs is 207 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Lara's radar on her submarine detects two other subs nearby. The first sub is 360m away, the second sub is 250m, and the angle between them is 34
Two sides and included angle is given
to find the opposite side of the angle we use cosine formula
b=250 , c=360 and angle A is 34 degrees
take square root on both sides to remove square
the distance between the other two subs is 207 meters
