A cargo ship off the west coast of Africa sent a distress call and only provided their 10 latitude before the call cuts out. As

the coast guard you need to rescue the ship. You obtain scant records of their navigational path described by the function y+20= -2x. Mark a line showing the cargo ship’s path on the map.

The linear function showing the cargo ship’s path on the map is given at the image at the end of the answer.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

The slope-intercept representation of a linear function is given by the rule presented as follows:

y = mx + b

The coefficients of the function and their meaning are explained as follows:

  • m is the slope of the function, representing the change in the output variable y when the input variable x increases by one.
  • b is the y-intercept of the function, representing the numeric value of the function when the input variable x assumes a value of 0.

In this problem, the function is given as follows:

y + 20 = -2x.

In slope-intercept format, the function is:

y = -2x - 20.

This means that:

  • When the longitude is of 0, the latitude is of 20. (passing through Mali).
  • Due to the negative slope, the line is decreasing.

Hence the line is presented on the image given at the end of the answer.

Tell whether the angles are complementary or supplementary. Then find the value of x.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

1) A

2) x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A cuz complementary these two angles add up to be 90 degrees

2) 2x - 30 = 90

2x = 120

x = 60

One factor in flood safety along a levee is the area that will absorb water should the levee break. The coordinates that make up
Anit [1.1K]

Let

A(0,0)\\ B (2.8, 2.1)\\C(4.3, 4.4)

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

The figure is a triangle

we know that

<u>The Heron's Formula</u> is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.

Hero's Formula is equal to

Area=\sqrt{p*(p-a)*(p-b)*(p-c)}

where

p is  is half the perimeter of the triangle

 a,b,c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle

so

Step 1

<u>Find the length sides of the triangle</u>

a) <u>Find the distance AB</u>

d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}

Substitute

d =\sqrt{(2.1-0)^{2} +(2.8-0)^{2}}

d =3.5\ mi}

b) <u>Find the distance AC</u>

d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}

Substitute

d =\sqrt{(4.4-0)^{2} +(4.3-0)^{2}}

d =6.15\ mi}

c) <u>Find the distance BC</u>

d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}

Substitute

d =\sqrt{(4.4-2.1)^{2} +(4.3-2.8)^{2}}

d =2.75\ mi}

Step 2

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangle</u>

Perimeter= 3.5+6.15+2.75 =12.4\ mi

<u>Find the half of the perimeter </u>

p=\frac{12.4}{2} = 6.2\ mi

Step 3

<u>Find the area of the triangle</u>

Area=\sqrt{6.2*(6.2-3.5)*(6.2-6.15)*(6.2-2.75)}

Area=\sqrt{6.2*(2.7)*(0.05)*(3.45)}

Area= 1.69\ mi^{2}

therefore

<u>the answer is the option </u>

a) 1.65 mi^2.
