10.06 km\text{10.06 km}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Calculate sin⁡θ\sin \theta.

    Using the sine rule:

    8sin⁡47∘=10sin⁡θ\frac{8}{\sin 47^\circ} = \frac{10}{\sin \theta}

    Rearrange to solve for sin⁡θ\sin \theta:

    sin⁡θ=10sin⁡47∘8\sin \theta = \frac{10 \sin 47^\circ}{8} sin⁡θ=10×0.731358\sin \theta = \frac{10 \times 0.73135}{8} sin⁡θ=7.31358\sin \theta = \frac{7.3135}{8} sin⁡θ≈0.9141875\sin \theta \approx 0.9141875

    Rounding to four decimal places as in the image:

    sin⁡θ≈0.9142\sin \theta \approx 0.9142
  2. Calculate θ\theta.

    Take the inverse sine of the value:

    θ=arcsin⁡(0.9141875)\theta = \arcsin(0.9141875) θ≈66.090∘\theta \approx 66.090^\circ

    Rounding to two decimal places as in the image:

    θ≈66.09∘\theta \approx 66.09^\circ
  3. Calculate the third angle of the triangle.

    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.
    Third angle =180∘−47∘−66.09∘= 180^\circ - 47^\circ - 66.09^\circ
    Third angle =180∘−113.09∘= 180^\circ - 113.09^\circ
    Third angle =66.91∘= 66.91^\circ

  4. Calculate xx using the sine rule.

    Using the sine rule with the third angle and the known side:

    xsin⁡66.91∘=8sin⁡47∘\frac{x}{\sin 66.91^\circ} = \frac{8}{\sin 47^\circ}

    Rearrange to solve for xx:

    x=8sin⁡66.91∘sin⁡47∘x = \frac{8 \sin 66.91^\circ}{\sin 47^\circ} x=8×0.92000sin⁡47∘x = \frac{8 \times 0.92000}{\sin 47^\circ} x=7.360000.73135x = \frac{7.36000}{0.73135} x≈10.0635x \approx 10.0635

    Rounding to two decimal places as in the image:

    x≈10.06 kmx \approx 10.06 \text{ km}

    The steps and calculations provided in the image are correct.
    The final answer is 10.06 km\text{10.06 km}.
