WPP #13&14: unit P Concept 6 & 7- Applications with Law of Sine and Cosine

       Jaime's and Sol's unfortunate trip to Juana's Bakery

This WPP #13 & 14 was made in collaboration with Sol S. Please visit other rad posts on his blog by clicking Here!!!!!

LAW OF SINE'S

Here is our story:
Sol and Jamie are eating at Juana's Bakery at two separate locations 9 miles apart. Both have eaten tainted bread and need to be rushed to the hospital. Sol is rushed North 30 degrees east from where he is and Jamie is rushed north 42 degrees west from where she is. Find the missing distances they were both rushed. 

 

After working out through the problem of sines we found out that Sol was 7.03 miles away and Jaime was 8.2 miles away from the hospital. Therefore Jaime was probably dying from Juana's Bakery's food poisoning. 

LAW OF COSINE'S

Both Jaime and Sol leave the hospital with a horrible stomach ache/problem at 5pm. Sol is headed to his house at a bearing of 088 degrees and traveling at 14.5 miles per hour. Jaime is traveling at 9 miles per hour at a bearing of 43 degrees. How far apart are they when they have to take their medicine at 9pm?

Once you complete the law of cosines you figure out that Jaime and Sol were 41.3 miles apart when the time to take there medicine came!!
