Problem 9, part a)
Compass bearings always have north as the starting point. This is where 0 degrees is situated, and 360 degrees as well. As the bearing angle increases, you'll turn to the right toward the eastward direction. Effectively you're sweeping out a clockwise rotation. The bearing 322 degrees is in a northwest position as the diagram shows (place the ship at the bottom right corner of the triangle). The bottom right acute angle of the triangle is 322 - 270 = 52 degrees. This is the reference angle we'll use for finding the distance d.
With respect to the reference angle of 52 degrees, the side 18.5 is the opposite side and d is the adjacent side. Use the tangent ratio to get...
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(52) = 18.5/d
d*tan(52) = 18.5
d = 18.5/tan(52)
d = 14.4537840903742
The approximate value of d is 14.4537840903742 km
This rounds to 14.5 when rounding to one decimal place.
<h3>Answer: 14.5 km</h3>
=======================================================
Problem 9, part b)
Recall that
distance = rate*time
where "rate" is another term for "speed" or "velocity"
We can solve this for the time to get
time = distance/rate
------
We found the distance back in part a) above. We are given the rate of 48 km/h
So,
time = distance/rate
time = 14.4537840903742/48
time = 0.3011205018828
This is the time it takes in hours. Multiply by 60 to convert to minutes
0.3011205018828 hours = 60*0.3011205018828 = 18.067230112968 minutes
This rounds to the whole number 18
<h3>Answer: 18 minutes</h3>
The perpendicular bisector is a line segment that is drawn from a vertex of an angle to the midpoint of another line segment creating a right triangle or a 90° angle in the process. Suppose AB is the base segment of the triangle, therefore the perpendicular sector is also the angle bisector of the other angle of the triangle, supposedly angle C. Angle bisector is a line segment that divides the angle into two equal parts. Imagine a line drawn from the top vertex C extended down to the midpoint of line AB. That is the perpendicular and angle bisector.
The two smaller angles would be 45 each and the other angle would be 90 to equal 180.
12-13
12-13=-1
Therefore the equation is false.
--Answer--
Any proposed solution of a rational equation that makes a denominator equal to the numerator is rejected.
