Answer:
Distance between B and C is 9.6 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying tangent rule in the given right triangle ABC,
tan(58°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{BC}{AB}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{BC}{6}[/tex]
1.60 = [tex]\frac{BC}{6}[/tex]
BC = 9.6 mi
Therefore, Distance between B and C is 9.6 miles.
