Question

8. Two pedestrians walk from opposite ends of a city block to a point on the other side of the street.

The angle formed by their paths is 125 degrees. One pedestrian walks 300 ft and the other walks
320 ft. How long is the city block to the nearest foot?

Answer 1

Answer: 135.606 m

Explanation:

Try using the law of cosine because if you draw the picture of the triangle out then you see it’s a SAS triangle

so in this case:

C squared equals 320 squared plus 300 squared minus 2 times 320 times 300 times cosine 25
