Answer:

√153 (approximately 12.37 feet)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

a and b are the sides of the right triangle, while c is the hypotenuse.

Here, you are looking for the hypotenuse.

12² + 3² = c²

144 + 9 = c²

c² = 153

c = √153

Find the value of x. 6+3x and x+14?
LenaWriter [7]
Simplifying
x + 6 = 3x + -14

Reorder the terms:
6 + x = 3x + -14

Reorder the terms:
6 + x = -14 + 3x

Solving
6 + x = -14 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
6 + x + -3x = -14 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x
6 + -2x = -14 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
6 + -2x = -14 + 0
6 + -2x = -14

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -2x = -14 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -2x = -14 + -6
-2x = -14 + -6

Combine like terms: -14 + -6 = -20
-2x = -20

Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 10

Simplifying
x = 10

mario62 [17]

Answer:

AEB =43

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180 degrees

AED + AEB = 180

137+AEB = 180

AEB = 180-137

AEB =43

The bearing of a lighthouse from a ship is N 37° E. The ship sails 2.5 miles further from the lighthouse. The new bearing is 25°
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The distance between the ship at N 25°E and the lighthouse would be 7.26 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question should be

The bearing of a lighthouse from a ship is N 37° E. The ship sails 2.5 miles further towards the south. The new bearing is N 25°E. What is the distance between the lighthouse and the ship at the new location?

Given the initial bearing of a lighthouse from the ship is N 37° E. So, \angle ABN is 37°. We can see from the diagram that \angle ABC would be 180-37= 143°.

Also, the new bearing is N 25°E. So, \angle BCA would be 25°.

Now we can find \angle BAC. As the sum of the internal angle of a triangle is 180°.

\angle ABC+\angle BCA+\angle BAC=180\\143+25+\angle BAC=180\\\angle BAC=180-143-25\\\angle BAC=12

Also, it was given that ship sails 2.5 miles from N 37° E to N 25°E. We can see from the diagram that this distance would be our BC.

And let us assume the distance between the lighthouse and the ship at N 25°E is AC=x

We can apply the sine rule now.

\frac{x}{sin(143)}=\frac{2.5}{sin(12)}\\ \\x=\frac{2.5}{sin(12)}\times sin(143)\\\\x=\frac{2.5}{0.207}\times 0.601\\ \\x=7.26\ miles

So, the distance between the ship at N 25°E and the lighthouse is 7.26 miles.

1. What is the solution to the system below?<br> x+y=5<br> 1x- y=3
Alika [10]

Answer:

(4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5

x- y=3

Add the equations together to eliminate y

x+y=5

x- y=3

--------------------

2x = 8

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

Now we can find y

x+y = 5

4+y = 5

Subtract 4 from each side

4+y-4 = 5-4

y =1
