What is the length of line AB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

That's a trick question. Every line has infinite length. Perhaps you mean the length of segment AB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is what i ment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there enough information given to solve it?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

We can get these angles using the inverse tangent function. |dw:1436220001584:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I don't think there is enough info on triangle ABP to answer unless we know that segment AB is parallel to segment L1L2. |dw:1436220177111:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If segment AB and segment L1L2 are parallel, then you can find the length of segment AB.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah yes forgot to mention that they are parallel

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Then we can use more angles. See below. |dw:1436220516982:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Use the law off sines. |dw:1436220599120:dw|
