Hello! To solve this problem, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:

6 + 3m = 24

This is because 6 is the one-time fixed price and you pay $3 per mile. Subtract 6 from both sides in order to get 3m = 18. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the “m”. 18/3 is 6. There. m = 6. Mike traveled 6 miles by taxi.

Find the cosine of angle B.

Alexandra [31]

$\boxed { \text {Cosine Rule : } a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos(A) }$

9² = 12² + 15² - 2 (12) (15) cos (B)

81 = 144 + 225 - 360 cos(B)

81 = 369 - 360 cos (B)

360 cos (B) = 369 - 81

360 cos (B) = 288

cos (B) = 0.8

Answer: Cosine B = 0.8

$\boxed { \text {Cosine Rule : } a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos(A) }$

12² = 15² + 9² - 2 (15)(9) cos (A)

144 = 225 + 81 - 270 Cos A

144 = 306 - 270 Cos A

270 Cos A = 162

Cos A = 3/5 or 0.6

Answer: Cosine Angle A = 3/5
