On a map, point C is 4.3km due east of point B , and point B is 2.7km on a bearing of 143° from point A . Give your answer to 2 decimal places for the following. a Find how far east point B is from A. b Find how far east point C is from A. c Find how far south point C is from A

Respuesta :

Based on the bearings of the direction and the distances given, the distance of point B from A is 1.62 km.  Point C's distance from A is 5.92 km east and 2.16 km south.

How far are points B and C from A?

To find the distance from point B to point A, the Cos function should be used.

Point A's distance from B can be found as:

= Cos (143 - 90) x distance from point A

= Cos (53°) x 2.7

= 1.62 km

The distance of C from A eastward is:

= 1.62 + 4.3

= 5.92 km

As C is southward from point A, the function to be used is the Sin function.

The distance southward of c from A is:

= Sin(53°) x 2.7

= 2.16 km
