2022 Two Straight Roads Intersect At Point P And Make And Angle Of 43\Xb0 There. At Point Q On, One Road Is A Building That Is 365 M From P And At Poi
• Two straight roads intersect at point P and make and angle of 43° there. At point Q on
one road is a building that is 365 m from P and at point R on the other road is a building
that is 462 m from P. Find the direct distance from Q to R.
Answer:
The direct distance between Q and R is 317 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Law of Cosine:
c² = a² + b² - 2abCosC
Where:
a = PQ = 365 m
b = PR = 462 m
C = 43° ⇒ 0.73 (Use a scical to find the value of Cos 43)
c = QR = distance between the two buildings at Points Q and R
Substitute:
c² = (365)² + (462)² - 2(365)(462)(0.73)
c² = 133,225 + 213,444 - 246,199.8
c² = 100,469.2 or 100,470
c ≈ √ 100,470
c ≈ 316.96 or 317 meters
The direct distance between Q and R is 317 meters.
