Answer:

Part 21) The distance from Football Field to the Park is
10.95\ miles

Part 22)

a) The value of a is
20\ units

b) The value of b is
20.10\ units

Explanation:

Part 21)

Let

A -----> Football Field

B -----> Park

C -----> Home

D -----> Library

x -----> the distance from Football Field to the Park

In the right triangle ABD


cos(A)=10/x -----> equation A

In the right triangle ABC


cos(A)=x/12 ----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B


10/x=x/12

solve for x


x^(2)=120\\ \\x=10.95\ miles

Part 22)

see the attached figure with letter to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the value of a

In the right triangle ABD


tan(ABD)=a/200 ----> equation A

In the right triangle ADC


tan(DAC)=2/a ----> equation B

remember that angle ABD is congruent with angle DAC

therefore

equate equation A and equation B


a/200=2/a

solve for a


a^(2)=400\\ \\a=20\ units

step 2

Find the value of b

In the right triangle ADC

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem


b^(2)=a^(2)+2^(2)

substitute the value of a


b^(2)=20^(2)+2^(2)


b^(2)=404


b=20.10\ units
