13 1/4 is the answer
9 7/8 + 3 3/8
12 10/8
13 2/8
13 1/4 (simplified)
Answer:
11.18 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of a right triangle a, b, c are related by the equation
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where c is the longest side of the triangle
Hence given that A connects B and C directly and forms a right angle at A
5^2 + 10^2 = c^2
Where c is the length of the road
25 + 100 = c^2
125 = c^2
c = 125^1/2
= 11.18 miles
The correct answer is 2 1/6.
Good Luck...:)
Right next to the zero van I heht brainleist please
12.7
Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can easily calculate the length of BC.
So:
BC = sqrt(12^2 - 6^2) = sqrt(144 - 36) = sqrt(108) = 10.39230485
Now consider triangle BCD. You know all three angles and one side. Using the law of sines you know that ratio of the sine of each angle over the opposite side is constant. So:
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90)
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90)
sin(90)BC/sin(55) = CD
1*BC/sin(55) = CD
BC/sin(55) = CD
10.39230485/0.819152044 = CD
12.68666167 = CD
12.7 = CD
