Help What Is The Distance Trig Ch71 class=

Sagot :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

One side between two angles is given, so we need to find the third angle. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so the third angle is ...

  A = 180° -110°20' -13°20' = 56°20'

The law of sines can be used to find the length of side AB:

  AB/sin(C) = BC/sin(A)

  AB = BC·sin(C)/sin(A) . . . . multiply by sin(C)

  AB = (360 m)sin(13°20')/sin(56°20') ≈ 99.75253 m

The distance AB across the river is about 100 m.
