Exercise 34 Page 443

Use the Law of Cosines.

No, she will not be able to.

Practice makes perfect
If we label the swimming distance x, we get the following diagram.
With the given information, we can use the Law of Cosines to calculate x.
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos C
SubstituteValues

Substitute values

x^2=620^2+455^2-2(620)(455)cos 150^(∘)
▼
Solve for x
CalcPow

Calculate power

x^2=384 400+207 025-2(620)(455)cos 150^(∘)
Multiply

Multiply

x^2=384 400+207 025+488 611.53281...
AddSubTerms

Add and subtract terms

x^2=1 080 036.53281...
SqrtEqn

sqrt(LHS)=sqrt(RHS)

x=± 1039.24806...

x > 0

x= 1039.24806...
RoundDec

Round to 2 decimal place(s)

x≈ 1039.25
No, Yee Ping will not be able to swim between the points.
