Question

A sketch of Jessie’s neighborhood is shown below. Which equation can Jessie use to determine x, the distance from home to school?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\dfrac{6\sin 50^{\circ}}{\sin 110^{\circ}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using sin law,

$\dfrac{\sin \alpha}{a}=\dfrac{\sin \beta}{b}$

Substituting $\alpha=110^{\circ}, a=6, \beta=50^{\circ}$,

we now have,

$\dfrac{\sin 110^{\circ}}{6}=\dfrac{\sin 50^{\circ}}{x}$

Solving for x,

$x=\dfrac{6\sin 50^{\circ}}{\sin 110^{\circ}}$
