For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
We know:
Length of the sides of the triangle
We want to know:
Length of the hypotenuse
Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:
Rewriting the expression we have:
Then, the distance that he would have saved if he travels directly is:
Answer:
he would have saved:
1.8 miles
Answer: a = 23, b = 21, c = 136
Step-by-step explanation:
BC is 10 units and AC is 
units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the sine rule
In ΔABC:
- AB is opposite to ∠C
- BC is opposite to ∠A
- AC is opposite to ∠B
Let us use this rule to solve the problem
In ΔABC:
∵ m∠A = 45°
∵ m∠C = 30°
- The sum of measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°
∵ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180
∴ 45 + m∠B + 30 = 180
- Add the like terms
∴ m∠B + 75 = 180
- Subtract 75 from both sides
∴ m∠B = 105°
∵ 
∵ AB = 
- Substitute AB and the 3 angles in the rule above
∴ 
- By using cross multiplication
∴ (BC) × sin(30) = × sin(45)
∵ sin(30) = 0.5 and sin(45) = 
∴ 0.5 (BC) = 5
- Divide both sides by 0.5
∴ BC = 10 units
∵ 
- Substitute AB and the 3 angles in the rule above
∴ 
- By using cross multiplication
∴ (AC) × sin(30) = × sin(105)
∵ sin(105) = 
∴ 0.5 (AC) = 
- Divide both sides by 0.5
∴ AC = units
BC is 10 units and AC is units
