6. Brandon and Charlotte Snifflesworth are visiting three of Americas top tourist attractions. The Snifflesworths

live close to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. They decided to start their trip at Disney World before traveling to

San Francisco, California to see the Golden Gate Bridge and then to Minneapolis, Minnesota to go shopping at the

Mall of America. The bearing from Disney to the Golden Gate Bridge is North 65° West. The bearing from the

Golden Gate Bridge to the Mall of America is North 80° East. The bearing from Disney to the Mall of America is

North 30° West and the distance traveled is 1,320 miles. Find all missing interior angles and distances created from

their triangular trip to America's top tourist attractions. Also find the bearing from the Mall of America to

Disneyland.

Answer:

The distance from Disney to the Golden Gate Bridge is 2,162.56 miles

The distance from Mall of America to The Golden Gate Bridge  is 1,320 miles

The interior angle at The Golden Gate Bridge is 35°

The interior angle at Mall of America is 110°

The interior angle at Disney is 35°

The direction from Mall of America to Disney is South 30° East

Step-by-step explanation:

The bearing from Disney to the Golden Gate Bridge = North 65° West

The bearing from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Mall of America = North 80° East

The bearing from Disney to the Mall of America = North 30° West

The distance from Disney to the Mall of America = 1,320 miles

Let 'A', 'B', and 'C' represent the interior angles at Disney, The Golden Gate bridge and Mall of America respectively

From the drawing of the triangular trip, we find that the interior angle at C = The sum angles complementary to the bearings at B and at C

Therefore, the interior angle at C = (90° - 65°) + (90° - 80°) = 35°

The interior angle at B = The bearing of C from B - The bearing of A from B

∴ The interior angle at B = 65° - 30° = 35°

B = 35°

∠C = 35° and ∠B = 35°, therefore, the triangle is an isosceles triangle

The interior angle at A = 180° - (∠B + ∠A) = 180° - (35° + 35°) =110°

CA = AB = 1.320

By sine rule, a = sin(110) × 1320/sin(35) ≈ 2,162.56  miles

a = CB = 2,162.56 miles

Therefore, we have;

The distance from Disney to the Golden Gate Bridge = 2,162.56 miles

The distance from Mall of America to The Golden Gate Bridge  = 1,320 miles

The interior angle at The Golden Gate Bridge = 35°

The interior angle at Mall of America = 110°

The interior angle at Disney = 35°

The magnitude of the bearing of Mall of America to Disney = The magnitude of the alternate angle to the bearing of Disney to Mall of America = 30°

∴ The direction from Mall of America to Disney = South 30° East
