Answer:
A 404 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
If we designate the points of the triangle A, B, and C for the locations of the western station, eastern station, and balloon, respectively, we have the following:
∠CAB = 90° - 41° = 49°
∠CBA = 90° + 21° = 111°
∠ACB = 41° -21° = 20°
side "c" (opposite ∠ACB) is 148 miles
The distance we're asked to find is AC = b, the longest side of the triangle. The law of sines tells us ...
b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
b = c·sin(B)/sin(C) = (148 mi)·sin(111°)/sin(20°) ≈ 403.98 mi ≈ 404 mi
To determine the area of a triangle, we calculate one half of the product of the base and the height of the triangle so we need data on its base and its height. We are given the following:
Hypotenuse = 7 + base = 14 + height
Perimeter = 84 inches
The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the sum of the three sides of the triangle which are the height, base and hypotenuse. So,
Perimeter = height + base + hypotenuse = 84
We let x = height and y = base. We calculate area as follows:
84 = x + y + (7 + y)
77 = x + 2y
x = 77 -2y
Hypotenuse is related to the other sides by the Pythagorean theorem.
Hypotenuse^2 = (x^2 + y^2)
(14 + x)^2 = x^2 + y^2
(14 + (77-2y))^2 = (77-2y)^2 + y^2
(91-2y)^2 = (77-2y)^2 + y^2
Solving for y and x
y = 28
x = 21
Area = (28)(21) / 2 = 294 square inches
