Answer: The distance between the two ships is 24.1 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance due to north = 20 km

Distance due to east = 13.5 km

We need to find the distance between the two ships:

Since it forms right angled triangle:

So, we will apply "Pythagorus theorem":

H^2=B^2+P^2\\\\H^2=20^2+13.5^2\\\\H^2=400+182.25\\\\H^2=582.25\\\\H=\sqrt{582.25}\\\\H=24.12\ km\\\\H=24.1\ km

Hence, the distance between the two ships is 24.1 km.

2 angles are supplementary. The measure of one angle is one-third of the other. Find the measure of BOTH angles.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

45° and 135°

Step-by-step explanation:

let one angle be "x" and the other be "y"

Angles which are supplementary total to 180°. This can be represented with the equation:

x + y = 180

If angle "x" is a third of angle "y", the situation is represented with this equation:

(1/3)x = y

Since fractions are difficult to work with, multiply the whole equation by 3.

(1/3)x = y   <= X 3

x = 3y

Use the equations x+y=180 and x=3y.

You can substitute x=3y into x+y=180.

x + y = 180

(3y) + y = 180    <=combine like terms

4y = 180   <=isolate y by dividing both sides by 4

y = 45

Substitute y=45 itno the equation x+y=180 to find x.

x + y = 180

x + 45 = 180   <=isolate x by subtracting 45 from both sides

x = 135

Therefore the angles are 45° and 135°.
