The measures of the angles between the peaks are;
m∠BSC = 22.5°
m∠ASB = 67.5°
The reason for arriving at the above angles is as follows:
The known values are;
The location of the surveyor = Point S
The angle between peaks A and B = m∠ASB = 3 times as large as the angle between peaks B and C = 3 × m∠BSC
The measure of angle m∠ASC = A right angle = 90°
Required:
To find m∠ASB and m∠BSC
From the given diagram, we have;
m∠ASC = 90°
m∠ASC = m∠ASB + m∠BSC (angle addition postulate)
m∠ASB = 3 × m∠BSC
∴ m∠ASC = 3 × m∠BSC + m∠BSC = 4 × m∠BSC
m∠ASC = 4 × m∠BSC = 90°
m∠BSC = 90°/4 = 22.5°
m∠BSC = 22.5°
m∠ASB = 3 × m∠BSC
∴ m∠ASB = 3 × 22.5° = 67.5°
m∠ASB = 67.5°
