Question

Lila flies a drone in the direction of 90° towards Avery. Once she gets to Avery she changes course and flies in the direction of 200° towards Mark. Lila and Avery are 20 feet apart; Mark and Avery are 30 feet apart. How far apart are Mark and Lila?

Answer 1

X = 13.13 feet

Explanation:

Let the distance between Lila and Mark be x.

Let the distance between Avery and lila be A= 20

Let the distance between Avery and Mark be B= 30

Angle x = 200-180=20°

To solve this question we will use the cosine formula which is

X² = A²+ B² -2ABcosx

X²= 20² + 30² -2(20)(30)cos20

X²=1300-1127.6

X²= 172.4

X= 13.13
