Three trees are planted. The direct distance from tree A to tree B is 200 feet. The direct distance from tree B to tree C is 300 feet. Which of the choices could be the direct distance from tree A to tree C?

500ft

Step-by-step explanation:

DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS

We want to firstly assume that the the three trees lies on the same line

so tress A,B and C are on the same line

Given

The direct distance between A to B= 200 ft

The direct distance between B to C= 300 ft

hence A to C= 200+300= 500ft

let us do a graphical representation for better understanding

ABC

200ft    300ft

A C

      500ft

A to C= 500ft

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
