Answer:
- see below for a sketch
- 12 km
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance can be calculated using the Law of Cosines. The angle internal to the triangle at Q is (180°-(146° -65°)) = 99°. Then the distance PR can be found from ...
PR² = PQ² +QR² -2·PQ·QR·cos(∠PQR)
PR² = 6² +10² -2·6·10·cos(99°) ≈ 154.77
PR ≈ √154.77 ≈ 12.44 . . . . km
The distance PR is about 12 km.
To find the distance between her home and her latest position:
According to the question, the diagram is,
Consider the right triangle,
AB=120 km
BC=50 km
To find AC:
Using Pythagoras theorem,
Hence, the distance between the new position and her home is 130 km.
