Calculate

Two friends, Mário and Jano, lived on opposite sides of a highway. They decided to find out how wide it was. Mário drew a diagram, based on which they made measurements the next day. They measured the values a = 5 m, b = 5.9 m, and d = 5 m. Calculate the width of the highway. Round the result to two decimal places.

Final Answer:

x =  4.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a=5 m b=5.9 m d=5 m s=2a+b+d=25+5.9+5=20159=7.95 m S=s (sa) (sb) (sd)=7.95 (7.955) (7.955.9) (7.955)11.9092 m2  S = 2a x  x=2 S/a=2 11.9092/5=4.8 m
