11. A surveyor at point S discovers that the angle between peaks A and B is 3 times as large as the angle between peaks B and C. The surveyor knows that ZASC is a right angle. Find mzASs and m2BSC.

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°
