Question

Mountain officials want to build a new ski lift from B to C, as shown in the figure below. The distance from A to C is 1540 feet. They measure angle DAC to be 38º and angle DBC to be 25º. What is the distance from A to B ? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answer 1

there is a 13 degree difference from DBC and DAC

with that you divide 1540 by 13 as you get that 118.461 feet

that means that there is a 118.461 difference from B to C and A to B

so the answer is either 1658.461ft or 1421.539ft I am not sure if that is correct or not but best of luck mate
