Three locations are marked next to a river. points b and c are on the same side of the river, and point a is on the other side of the river. to find the distance ab across a river, a distance bc of 241 meters is laid off on one side of the river. it is found that the angle at point b is 108.6° and the angle at point c is 14.9°. find the distance ab (across the river). round to the nearest meter.

=74 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given that three  locations are marked next to a river. Points B and C are on the same side of the river, and point A is on the other side of the river. To find the distance AB across a river, a distance BC of 241 meters is laid off on one side of the river. It is found that the angle at point B is 108.6° and the angle at point C is 14.9°.

we have information about triangle ABC as side BC =241, Angle B = 108.6 and angle C = 14.9 degrees.

Hence this is an obtuse scalene triangle.

Angle ∠A = 56.5° (III angle)

Using sine formula we get

So distance AB is 74 metres.

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

i do not know this sorry : (
