direction and 1000  2  200 0 kilometer s in the new direction. Since
she makes a course correction of 10 i to the right, the included angle is E

the expression d 2  1500 2  2000 2  2 1500  2000  cos 170i s 12,158,846 52, so d s 3487 kilometers. Thus,
the pilot’s distance from her original position is approximately 348 7 k m.

44. Let d be the distance between the two boats in kilometers. After one hour, the boats have traveled distances of
30 km and 26 km. Also, the angle subtended by their directions is 180i  50i  70i  60i . Then

sin B  s 0577. Now there are two angles / B between 0i and 180i which have sin B  0577, namely

/ B s 352i and / B s 1448i . But we must choose / B , since otherwise / A  / B 180i .

Using the Law of Sines again,  % sin C  s 0989, so either / C s 815i

or / C s 985i . In this case we must choose / C s 985i so that the sum of the angles in the triangle is
/ A  / B  / C s 465i  352i  985i s 180i . (The fact that the angles do not sum to exactly 180i , and the
discrepancies between these results and those of Example 3, are due to roundoff error.)
The method in this exercise is slightly easier computationally, but the method in Example 3 is more reliable.

55. In any ABC, the Law of Cosines gives a 2  b2 c2 2bccos A, b2  a 2 c2 2accos B, and c2  a 2 b2 2abcos C.
Adding the second and third equations gives

b2  a 2  c2  2ac  cos B
c2  a 2  b2  2ab  cos C
b2  c2  2a 2  b2  c2  2a c cos B  b cos C
Thus 2a 2  2a c cos B  b cos C  0, and so 2a a  c cos B  b cos C  0.
Since a / 0 we must have a  c cos B  b cos C  0 % a  b cos C  c cos B . The other laws follow from the symmetry
of a, b, and c.

determined by the angle , namely it has coordinates

If 180i n   360i , then h is the difference between R P and R O. Again, R P  400  25 cos 2  and O R is the

y-coordinate of the point Q, 2 sin . Thus h  400  25 cos 2   5 sin  . Since sin   0 for 180i    360i , this also

reduces to h  400  25 cos 2   5 sin .

FOCUS ON MODELING Surveying


1. Let x be the distance between the church and City Hall. To apply the Law of Sines to the triangle with vertices at City Hall,
the church, and the first bridge, we first need the measure of the angle at the first bridge, which is 180i  25i  30i  125i .
x 086 086 sin 125i
Then  % x  s 14089. So the distance between the church and City Hall is about
sin 125i sin 30i sin 30i
141 kilometers.

2. To find the distance z between the fire hall and the school, we use the bank
distance found in the text between the bank and the cliff. To find z we
first need to find the length of the edges labeled x and y. c

In the bank-second bridge-cliff triangle, the third angle is

to be exactly 8839 m , but in order to make it clear that the figure was considered accurate to within a meter , the height was
published as 8839.8 m . The accepted figure today is 88 48 m .
