Question 483976: Hi - I'm having problems drawing a diagram for the following question. The part I find unclear is "they mark a point A, 120 m along the edge of the waterpark from Brianna's house. I'm wondering if point A is the waterpark. See question. My answer to this question was 196.6 meters, please verify if correct...
Noah and Brianna want to calculate the distance between their houses which are opposite sides of a water park. They mark a point, A, 120 m along the edge of the water park from Brianna’s house. The measure NBA∠ as and °75BAN∠as. Determine the distance between their houses.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You need to give us another angle at least, we can only see one angle of 75 degrees. Off hand, it looks like you would using the law of Sines to solve this,; something like sine BNA/120 == sine BAN/ x. x will be the distance from Noahs house to Brians house.
Cleomenius.
