Raymond has taken a position as the navigator on a speed boat racing team. The team entered a race that starts at Daytona Beach,

Florida. The first leg of the race course has them traveling due east for 140 miles. They turn right and travel 160 miles for the second leg of the race. They make another right turn to start the third and final leg of the race, in which they will travel 180 miles back to the starting point at Daytona Beach. What is the measure of the turn between the second and third legs of the race? Round your answer to the nearest degree.

Using the rules of cosines, the <span>measure of the turn between the second and third legs of the race</span> is given by

\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{180^2+160^2-140^2}{2\times180\times160} \right)=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{32,400+26,600-19,600}{57,600} \right) \\  \\ =\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{39,400}{57,600} \right)=\cos^{-1}(0.6840)\approx47^o

17. You roll a number cube. How likely is it that you will roll a number less than 7? <br> Explain
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1 or 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling less than 7 is equal to the probability of rolling 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. That is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 6/6. So any number from the dice can come up when you roll it because a perfect dice has 6 sides.

Answer:

-1.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's figure out where the ant is after each step.

Step 1

Start at      +3.0

Move left  <u> - 1.5 </u>

Now at       +1.5

Step  2

Start at           +1.5

Move right  <u> + 4.9 </u>

Now at         +6.4

Step 3

Start at      +6.4

Move left <u> - 7.6 </u>

Now at      -1.2

The ant is now at -1.2 cm.
