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.

How do you do this?!<br> (2w-1)/(4)=(2-w)
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

w = 3 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to get w by itself.

<em>(2w - 1)/(4) = 2 - w         </em><u>You will add the w on both sides.</u>

<em>(3w - 1)/(4) = 2                </em><u>You will multiply 4 on both sides.</u>

<em>3w - 1 = 8                       </em><u>You will add 1 on both sides.</u>

<em>3w = 9                            </em><u>You will divide 3 on both sides.</u>

w = 3 is your answer.

Using the approximation 3.14 for \pi what is the radius of a circle with circumference 44m
Feliz [49]

Answer:

7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle uses the formula;

Circumference = 2 × pi × radius(r)

If the circumference = 44

then we use the formula above to calculate the value of the radius,

44 = 2 × pi × r...then divide both sides by (2 × pi(3.14))

Radius = 44 ÷ ( 3.14 × 2)

;Radius = 7.01

;Radius = 7m
