buddy can you help me here
is the question complete
yep
i think the question is lacking some information
wait i will check again
can i give another question here?
yes u caan
Point A and B are separated by an obstacle. In order to find the distance between them, a third point C is selected which is 120 yards from A and 150 yards from B. The angle ACB is measured to 80degrees 10 min. Find the distance from A to B. CAN YOU USE THE COSINE LAW...AND CAN U DRAW THE FIGURE BUDDY :D

mr. math math can you show me the solution?
law of cosines is used here http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/trig-cosine-law.html
tnx
\(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{cosC=\dfrac{AC^2+BC^2-AB^2}{2\times AB\times BC }\\~\\ cos(80+\frac{1}{6})=\dfrac{120^2+150^2-AB^2}{2\times 150\times 120}\\~\\ cos(80+\frac{1}{6})\times 2\times 150\times 120=120^2+150^2-AB^2\\~\\ AB^2=120^2+150^2- cos(80+\frac{1}{6})\times 2\times 150\times 120\\~\\ AB \approx \pm 175}\end{align}\)
