A ship is stationary at sea.
1 answer:
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

If the x-axis ordered pair is (0,0) and the y-axis ordered pair is (0,0), it is just where the lines intersect or also known as the origin. Both x and y can have a (0) in it.
for example let's say that you have an ordered pair on the X-axis of (5,0) and a ordered pair on the y-axis of (-3,0) it would look like that^^
or if it was just (0,0) it would be a dot in the middle
Don't know if it helped much, but there ya go
