This is my first time asking a question on here-- well it here it goes.
two weather tracking stations are on the equator 146 miles apart. a weather balloon is located on a bearing of n 35°e from the western station and on a bearing of n 23°e from the eastern station. how far is the balloon from the western station?
if you can. : )

I just learned about the law of sines but here's what I think the answer is We must first find A and B using right angles. 90-35=5523+90=113Then find C so that we can have one full set with both the angle and the corresponding side. 113+55=168180-168=12C is 12. Now use the law of sines. 146/sin(12)=x/sin(113)Were using 113 because that is the corresponding angle to the side we are looking for which we can say is b. Solve for x by cross multiplying. 146*sin(113)=134.393708604. 134.393708604/sin(12)=646.39803599 which I believe is the answer.

The skating rink rented 872 pairs of skates during april and may.why? : if the skating rink rented three times the pair of skates in april during may, they rented 654 skates. 218 x 3 = 654then, if they want to know how many they rented during both april and may, then you just add 654 (may) and 218 (april) to give you 872 pairs of skates for both months.654 + 218 = 872hope this !
