Speed of the ship in the second hour =  (62.5 * x ) / 100  kph.

In third hour it is  [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]

is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again  so we can now form the equation

62.5x      x          x
------- *   ----  *  ----    =  32
100      100      100

62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 =  512,000
x = 80 <-----  Answer  to (a)

(b)  Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then  this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence 

Dist travelled in 6 hours  =  a1  1 - r^n
                                                --------  = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56

                                               1 - r

Answer is    230.56 km

Given: measure of angle KJ = 124°, measure of IC =38°<br><br> Find: m∠CQJ, m∠LIJ.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Part 1) m

Part 2) m

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the measure of angle CQJ

we know that

The measure of the interior angle is the semi-sum of the arcs comprising it and its opposite.

m

arc\ IK+arc\ CJ=360\°-(arc\ IC+arc\ KJ)

substitute the values

arc\ IK+arc\ CJ=360\°-(38\°+124\°)=198\°

m

Part 2) Find the measure of angle LIJ

step 1

Find the measure of angle IJL

we know that

The inscribed angle is half that of the arc it comprises.

m

substitute the values

m

step 2

Find the measure of angle ILJ

we know that

The measurement of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arcs it encompasses.

m

substitute the values

m

step 3

Find the measure of angle LIJ

Remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In the triangle LIJ

m

substitute the values

m

m
