Chapter 8: Q. 49 (page 516)

Find the distance from A to C across the gorge illustrated in the figure.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance from A to C isAC=70.020754ft.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given that the figure is

02

Solution

Suppose that the distance from A to C is x.

Now, from the figure BC is 100ftand angle B is 35掳.

So, tan(35掳)=ACBC

tan(35掳)脳BC=ACx=100脳tan(35掳)x=100脳(0.70020754)x=70.020754ft

Mollweide鈥檚 Formula For any triangle, Mollweide鈥檚 Formula (named after Karl Mollweide, 1774鈥�1825) states that a+bc=cos12A-Bsin12C

Derive it.

[Hint: Use the Law of Sines and then a Sum-to-Product Formula. Notice that this formula involves all six parts of a triangle. As a result, it is sometimes used to check the solution of a triangle.]

Constructing a Highway A highway whose primary directions are north-south is being constructed along the west coast of Florida. Near Naples, a bay obstructs the straight path of the road. Since the cost of a bridge is prohibitive, engineers decide to go around the bay. The illustration shows the path that they decide on and the measurements taken. What is the length of highway needed to go around the bay?
