    Section 4.7

    20211120_183654.jpg

    Part (a)

    sin (theta) = 6/x

    arcsin[sin(theta)] = arcsin(6/x)

    theta = arcsin(6/x)

    Part (b)

    For this part, I simply replace x with 12 miles and evaluate the function in (a) and then repeat and do the same when x = 7 miles.

    You say?

    Ok. Now, I'm cooking with gas, like Richie Cunningham is known for saying on Happy Days.
