The distance of the yacht from the ship is 35 km
<h3>How to determine the distance?</h3>See attachment for the diagram that represents the given parameters.
The distance of the yacht from the ship is then calculated using the following law of cosine.
YS^2 = ST^2 + YT^2 - 2 * ST * YT * cos(T)
This gives
YS^2 = 24^2 + 12^2 - 2 * 24 * 12 * cos(155)
Evaluate the exponents and the products
YS^2 = 576 + 144 + 522
Evaluate the sum
YS^2 = 1242
Take the square root of both sides
YS = 35
Hence, the distance of the yacht from the ship is 35 km

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 6x + 9 = 12 → x² + 6x - 3
Since this Quadratic Expression is unfactorable, apply the <em>Quadratic</em><em> </em><em>Formula</em>:
√48 = √[3 × 16] = 4√3
½[4√3] = 2√3
Then attach half of -6 to it as well [-3]:
-3 ± 2√3
