Solution:

To find the distance between two points, the formula is

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Where

$\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(3,4) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(4,5) \end{gathered}$

Substitute the values of the variables into the formula above

$d=\sqrt{(4-3)^2+(5-4)^2}=\sqrt{1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt{2}\text{ units}$

Hence, the answer is

$\sqrt{2}\text{ units}$

Answer:

P(king or diamond) = P(king) + P(diamond) - P(king and diamond) P(king or diamond) = (4/52) + (13/52) - (1/52) P(king or diamond) = 16/52 Page 5 P(king or diamond) = 4/13.

Satellites KA-1212 and SAL-11 have spotted a UFO. Scientists want to determine its distance from KA-1212 so they can later deter

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The distance of UFO from KA-1212 is 1229.7 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Distance between the satellites = 900 km

Angle made by the satellite KA-1212 = 60°

Angle made by the satellite SAL-11 = 75°

So, from the figure below,

The third angle is given by = 180° - (60°+75°) = 180° - 135° = 45°

Then, using the law of sines, we have,

$\dfrac{x}{\sin 75}=\dfrac{900}{\sin 45}\\\\x=\dfrac{900\times \sin 75}{\sin 45}\\\\x=\dfrac{900\times 0.966}{0.707}\\\\x=\dfrac{869.4}{0.707}\\\\x=1229.7$
