b. A house is located 8 miles north of the center of the town and is to the east of the cell tower. If the house lies on
the boundary of the cell tower's coverage, how far east of the center of the town is the house?
miles

Respuesta :

The distance of the house located 8 miles north on the eastern  boundary of the tower is 11.31 miles east of the town.

(a) the diagram of this situation is in the image added.

(b) the distance of the house located 8 miles north on the eastern  boundary of the tower is calculated by applying Pythagoras theorem.

[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2\\\\c^2 = (8)^2 + (4+ 4)^2 \\\\c^2 = (64) + (64)\\\\c^2 = 128\\\\c = \sqrt{128} \\\\c = 11.31 \ miles \ east \ of \ the \ town[/tex]

Thus, the distance of the house located 8 miles north on the eastern  boundary of the tower is 11.31 miles east of the town.
