In the field of astronomy, the ability to measure angles accurately and precisely enables us to calculate the position and relative movement of the stars and galaxies in relation to each other, to determine how far distant they are from us, and even to estimate their relative size.
Number of red cars = x
Number of white cars = y
x + y = 75
y + 3 = 2x
x + y = 75
y = 75 - x
(75 - x) + 3 = 2x
78 = 3x
26 = x
y + 3 = 2(26)
y + 3 = 52
y = 49
There are 49 white cars.
Answer is A, basically using the Pythagorean theorem but in a slightly different way, should still get you the same answer.
