Triangle A B C is shown as the path of a ferry. Side A B is 3.5 miles long. The ferry turns 75 degrees to side B C. Side B C is

6 miles long. Side C A has an unknown length d.
A ferry transports passengers to three different ports. From port A, the ferry travels east 3.5 miles to port B. The ship then turns 75° south and travels for 6 miles to reach port C. What is the distance d from port C to port A? Approximate to the nearest tenth of a mile.

The length of C from A is 3.5 miles if AB=3.5 miles and BC is 6 miles .

Given The length of triangle ABC AB=3.5 miles , BC=6miles and AC=d

We have to find the value of d

First of all we have to draw a perpendicular from point A on side BC .

It forms two triangles ABE and AEC if E is the point where perpendicular stands on BC.

In triangle BEA

AE=\sqrt{3.5^{2} -3^{2} }

=\sqrt{12.25-9}

=\sqrt{3.25}

=1.8

Now in triangle AEC

AC=\sqrt{1.8^{2} +3^{2} }

=\sqrt{3.24+9}

=\sqrt{12.24}

=\sqrt{12.24}

=3.49 MILES

By rounding off to the nearest tenth we will get 3.4 miles

Hence the value of d is 3.4 miles.

Please help for Q4 I’m super lost. Write an expression for the sum of four consecutive odd numbers where 2n+1 is the smallest od
sveta [45]

Answer:

n+2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Typical Question on Arithmetic Progression with initial term as 2n+1

The next number in this particular series will be 2n+1+2 which is 2n+3 and so on. Thus a common difference of 2 exists.

The nth term of an Arithmetic Progression AP, bn is represented below where b1 is the first term

bn=b1 +(n-1)d where d is the common difference

For this particular series, the 4th term b4 is

b4= 2n+1+(4-1)2 0r b4 =2n+1+6=2n+7

sum of series is represented by equation: n(b1 +b4)/2 where b1 and b4 are 1st and 4th term respectively

Thus Sum required =4(2n+1+2n+7)/2=4(4n+8)/2=8n+16  0r n+2

Find the coordinates of point B on AC such that AB is 2/7 of AC
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Coordinates of B are (-3,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

AC in the horizontal direction is 14, so AB in the horizontal direction is 2/7 of 14 which is 4.

​AC in the vertical direction is 7, so AB in the vertical direction is 2/7  of 7, which is 2.

To find the coordinates of B, you move right 4, and up 2 from A towards C.
