Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
I'm hesitant to get an exact answer. You could do that with the cos law for distance. To get an approximate answer you could use the Pythagorean Theorem.
I'll try the cos law first.
Formula
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcos(C)
Givens
c = 24
a = 18
b = ?
Solution
24^2 = 18^2 + b^2 - 2*18*b*cos(94)
576 = 324 + b^2 - 36*b*(-0.0698)
0 = 324 - 576 + b^2 + 2.511b
0 = b^2 + 2.511 - 252
Using the quadratic formula, the roots are
b1 = 14.66
b2 = - 17.11
The second one has no meaning in the real world.
Answer
the distance is 14.66 miles from Chaplin to Asherville
Note: using the Pythagorean theorem gives 15.87 which I would count as a good approximation.
