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.

(4k^4 + 2 - 3k) + (5k^4 + k - 8)
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Hello!

You can only add values that have the same terms

4k^4 + 5k^4 = 9k^4

-3k + k = -2k

-8 + 2 = -6

The answer is 9k^4 - 2k - 6

Hope this helps!

Learning Task 4. Solve the problem by applying the sum and product of roots
Delvig [45]

Answer:

<em>Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic equation:

x^2+bx+c=0

The sum of the roots is -b and the product is c. Note the leading coefficient is 1.

We know the perimeter of the rectangular metal plate is 36 dm and its area is 80 dm^2. Being L and W its dimensions, then:

P=2(L+W)=36

A=L.W=80

Note both formulas are closely related to the roots of the quadratic equation, we only need to adjust the data for the perimeter to be exactly the sum of L+W and not double of it.

Thus we use the semi perimeter instead as P/2=L+W=18

The quadratic equation is, then:

x^2-18x+80=0

Factoring by finding two numbers that add up to 18 and have a product of 80:

(x-10)(x-8)=0

The solutions to the equation are:

x=10, x=8

Thus, the dimensions of the metal plate are 10 dm and 8 dm.
