Question

Use Law of Cosines to solve for this problem. Round your answer to the nearest TENTH.

Answer 1

We can find the distance from the basket to malachi (BC) using the law of cosines. Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} BC=√(AB^2+AC^2-2(AB)(AC)cos(A)) \\ BC=√(24^2+26^2-2(24)(26)cos(34)) \\ BC\approx14.7ft \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The distance between the basket and Malachi is 14.7 ft
