About how much farther is it to drive than to walk directly from building A to building B? Round to the nearest whole number. 183 meters

250 meters

366 meters

683 meters

A. 183 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Building A and building B are 500 meters apart. There is no road between them, so to drive from building A to building B, it is necessary to first drive to building C and then to building B. About how much farther is it to drive than to walk directly from building A to building B? Round to the nearest whole number. A) 183 meters B) 250 meters C) 366 meters D) 683 meters

Find distance BC

Cos (60°)=BC / AB (Adjacent divided by the hypotenuse)

Cos (60°)=1/2

BC=a

AB=500

Cos (60°)=BC / AB

1/2=a/500

1/2 * 500=a

250=a

a=250m

Find distance AC

Sin(60°)=AC/AB (opposite side divided by hypotenuse)

Sin(60°)=√3/2

AC=b

AB=500

Sin(60°)=AC/AB

√3/2=b/500

√3/2 * 500=b

250√3=b

b=433m

Distance AC and BC=AC+BC

433m+250m=683m

Subtract the distance AB from AC+BC

= 683m - 500m

=183m

Answer is A. 183 meters

A. 183 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(60) = x/500

= 433

tan(60) = 433/x

= 250

This is the driving distance. 433+250= 683. Directly walking (using hypotenuse distance) is 500.

683-500=183!
