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°

Today's individual is an ‘Atomic’ individual. But he is not be entirely blamed for this. The market economy and Internet technology have brought changes at every level of life. It has essentially made consumer out of an individual . ‘I’, ‘Me’ and ‘Mine’ have become more important than ‘We' and ‘Our’. We have become a self centric society. In a consumerist society empathy, innocence and cooperation have little space and social life is largely dominated by intelligence, smartness and self centeredness.
