Amanda rides her bike east for 10 km. Angela rides her bike 20 degrees south of east 12 km. How far apart are they? Round to the nearest tenth

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]4.3\ km[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Applying the law of cosines

[tex]c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2(a)(b)cos(C)[/tex]

we have

c-----> is the distance between Amanda and Angela

[tex]a=10\ km[/tex]

[tex]b=12\ km[/tex]

[tex]C=20\°[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]c^{2}=10^{2}+12^{2}-2(10)(12)cos(20\°)[/tex]

[tex]c^{2}=18.4738[/tex]

[tex]c=4.3\ km[/tex]
