A hiker is lost in the forest, but has his cell phone with a weak signal. Cell phones with GPS can give an approximate location through triangulation, which works by giving distances from two known points. Suppose the hiker is within distance of two cell phone towers that are 22.5 miles apart along a straight highway (running east to west, double-dashed line). Based on the signal delay, it can be determined that the signal from the hiker's phone is 14.2 miles from Tower A and 10.9 miles from Tower B. Assume the hiker is traveling a straight path south reach the highway quickly. How far must the hiker travel to reach the highway

Answer:

The distance the hiker must travel is approximately 5.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two cell phone towers = 22.5 miles

The distance between the hiker's phone and Tower A = 14.2 miles

The distance between the hiker's phone and Tower B = 10.9 miles

The direction of the highway along which the towers are located = East to west

The direction in which the hiker is travelling to reach the highway quickly = South

By cosine rule, we have;

a² = b² + c² - 2·b·c·cos(A)

Let 'a', 'b', and 'c', represent the sides of the triangle formed by the imaginary line between the two towers, the hiker's phone and Tower A, and the hiker's hone and tower B respectively, we have;

a = 22.5 miles

b = 14.2 miles

c = 10.9 miles

Therefore, we have;

22.5² = 14.2² + 10.9² - 2 × 14.2 × 10.9 × cos(A)

cos(A) = (22.5² - (14.2² + 10.9²))/( - 2 × 14.2 × 10.9) ≈ -0.6

∠A = arccos(-0.6) ≈ 126.9°

By sine rule, we have;

a/(sin(A)) = b/(sin(B)) = c/(sin(C))

∴ sin(B) = b × sin(A)/a

∴ sin(B) = 14.2×(sin(126.9°))/22.5

∠B = arcsine(14.2×(sin(126.9°))/22.5) ≈ 30.31°

∠C = 180° - (126.9° - 30.31°) = 22.79° See No Evil

The distance the hiker must travel, d = c × sin(B)

∴ d = 10.9 × sin(30.31°) ≈ 5.5

Therefore, the distance the hiker must travel, d ≈ 5.5 miles.

A grocery store collected sales data. It found that when customers buy less bread, they tend to purchase more rice. What can we conclude?


A. There is no correlation between amount of bread bought and amount of rice purchased.

B. There is a correlation between amount of bread bought and amount of rice purchased. However, there is no causation. This is because there is an increase in the amount of rice purchased with a decrease in the amount of bread bought.

C. There is a correlation between amount of bread bought and amount of rice purchased. There may or may not be causation. Further studies would have to be done to determine this.
