The ship movement is an illustration of distance and bearing

The ship is 31.97 miles from its point of departure

<h3>The distance from the point of departure?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Distance east = 40 milies
  • Distance southwards = 70 miles
  • Angle = 12 degrees

See attachment for the image of the above parameters

The distance (x) from the point of departure is then calculated using the following cosine function

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc * cos(Ф)

So, we have:

x^2 = 40^2 + 70^2 - 2 * 40 * 70 * cos(12)

Evaluate the exponent and the product

x^2 = 6500 - 5477.63

Evaluate the difference

x^2 = 1022.37

Evaluate the exponent

x = 31.97

Hence, the ship is 31.97 miles from its point of departure

Write a sentence to compare the populations for each planet using the words 10 times as many.
irina [24]

Answer:

10 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Note : It is given that,

Planet Ruba has a population of 1 million aliens and Planet Zamba has 1 hundred thousand aliens.

We know that,

1 million = 1,000,000

1 hundred thousand = 100,000

If we divide 1,000,000 by 100,000, we can compare the populations of two planets. So, we get :

\dfrac{1000000 }{100000}=10

It means that the population of Ruba planet is 10 times that of the Zamba planet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric = you multiply or divide to get the next term

Arithmetic = you add or subtract to get the next term

1st)  you times by 3 to get next term = geometric

2nd)  you add one to get next terms = arithmetic

3rd) you add 4 to get next term = arithmetic
