First, let's calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the wind speed (W) and the airplane speed (A), knowing that south is a bearing of 270° and northeast is a bearing of 45°:

\begin{gathered} W_x=W\cos45°\\ \\ W_x=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_x=35.35\\ \\ \\ \\ W_y=W\sin45°\\ \\ W_y=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_y=35.35 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} A_x=A\cos270°\\ \\ A_x=540\cdot0\\ \\ A_x=0\\ \\ \\ \\ A_y=A\sin270°\\ \\ A_y=540\cdot(-1)\\ \\ A_y=-540 \end{gathered}

Now, let's add the components of the same direction:

\begin{gathered} V_x=W_x+A_x=35.35+0=35.35\\ \\ V_y=W_y+A_y=35.35-540=-504.65 \end{gathered}

To find the resultant bearing (theta), we can use the formula below:

\begin{gathered} \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{V_y}{V_x})\\ \\ \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-504.65}{35.35})\\ \\ \theta=-86° \end{gathered}

The angle -86° is equivalent to -86 + 360 = 274°.

Therefore the correct option is b.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

It is 67.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to first turn the mixed fraction to improper fraction and you will get (45/2) divided by 1/3= (45/2)/(1/3)=135/2=67.5. So he travel 67.5

<h3>What is seafloor spreading?</h3>

<u>Seafloor spreading</u> can be defined as a process that involves the formation of new oceanic crust as a result of volcanic activities and an upwelling of molten magma at mid-ocean ridges, as well as a slowly increasing distance (outward movement) from the ridge.

The theory of <u>seafloor spreading</u> was established by Harry Hammond Hess and it can be used to explain in details the slowly increasing distance between South America and Africa which grows from the center.

<h3>What is a hot spot?</h3>

A <u>hot spot</u> refers to an area deep within Earth's mantle or under the rocky outermost layer of Earth, from which heat rises through convection and acquired as heat energy by a landform.

In the United States of America, you will see a layered <u>sedimentary rock</u> that is exposed by erosion when you view the Grand Canyon.

Furthermore, Australia is made up of relatively old and thick <u>continental crust</u>. Also, <u>subduction</u> causes the formation of extremely deep ocean Marianas Trench.

Please help me with questions a, b, and c. Thank you
guapka [62]

Answer:

A: Not rational, because a rational number is any integer, fraction, terminating decimal, or repeating decimal. This does not show that.

B: In between 13 and 15, (200 rooted is 14.1) I know this because if you simplify the radical by breaking the radicand up into a product of known factors, assuming positive real numbers.

C: He should make each side about 3.76 feet long. Because, 3.76^4 is 200, therefore it would become 200 square feet if each side is 3.76 feet long.
