Answer 1

He can make it with Max's audio goods

44.575 miles < 45 miles

Explanation:

The angle of the truck driver = 180 - (60 + 69) = 51°

By using sin Rule:

40/sin51 = Max's auto goods/sin60 = Jimmy's car supply/sin69

∴ Max's auto goods = 40(sin60)/sin51 = 44.575 miles

∴ Jimmy's car supply = 40sin(69)/sin51 = 48.052 miles

∵ The truck driver can travel another 45 miles

∴ He can make it with Max's audio goods because 44.575 < 45
