Answer:

the distance between Seattle, WA, and San Francisco, CA is 677 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.  

My answer:

In the photo, given the information:

  • The distance from Seattle to Chicago (SC) is: 1373 miles
  • The distance from Chicago to San Francisco (CF) is: 1858 miles
  • The angle of Chicago in the triangle is 21.4 °

In this situation, we will use cosine law to find the distance between Seattle, WA, and San Francisco, CA

Let x is the distance we need to find, we have:

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]SC^{2} + CF^{2} - 2SC*CF*Cos(chicago)[/tex]

<=> [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]1737^{2} + 1858^{2} - 2*1737*1858*Cos(21.4)[/tex]

<=> [tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 459654 miles

<=> x = 677 miles

Hence, the distance between Seattle, WA, and San Francisco, CA is 677 miles

Hope it will find you well.
