Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have x^2+(x+2)^2=51^2, and
x^2+ x^2+4x+4=2x^2+4x+4=51^2. After that, we subtract 51^2 from both sides to get 2x^2+4x-2597. Using the quadratic formula (x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a in ax^2+bx+c), we get around 35 for x. We did + instead of minus after b due to that it can't be negative! x+2=37, so you save 35+37-51=around 21 feet

ESTIMATE THE ANSWER BY ROUNDING EACH NUMBER TO THE NEAREST 10. 961 + 27.8 + 693.0 + 573 +76.4 =

taurus [48]

Answer:

2330

Step-by-step explanation:

In rounding nearest 10,

If the ones place digit is 5 or more then 5 then we round the number to upper 10, while if the ones place digit is less than 5 then we round the number to lower 10,

For example : 34 ≈ 30 while 36 ≈ 40,

Now, given expression,

961 + 27.8 + 693.0 + 573 +76.4

By the above statement 961≈ 960, 27.8 ≈ 30, 693.0 ≈ 690, 573 ≈ 570 and 76.4 ≈ 80,

Hence, 961 + 27.8 + 693.0 + 573 +76.4 = 960 + 30 + 690 + 570 + 80 = 2330.

6) Two coastguard stations P and Q are 17km apart, with due East of P. A ship S is observed in distress on a bearing 048° fromP

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The ship S is at 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the ship to coastguard P be represented by x, and its distance to coastguard Q be represented by y.

But,

<P = 048°

<Q = $360^{o}$ - $324^{o}$

= 0 $36^{o}$

Sum of angles in a triangle = $180^{o}$

<P + <Q + <S = $180^{o}$

048° + 0 $36^{o}$ + <S = $180^{o}$

$84^{o}$ + <S = $180^{o}$

<S = $180^{o}$ - $84^{o}$

= $96^{o}$

<S = $96^{o}$

Applying the Sine rule,

$\frac{y}{Sin P}$ = $\frac{x}{Sin Q}$ = $\frac{z}{Sin S}$

$\frac{y}{Sin P}$ = $\frac{z}{Sin S}$

$\frac{y}{Sin 48^{o} }$ = $\frac{17}{Sin 96^{o} }$

$\frac{y}{0.74314}$ = $\frac{17}{0.99452}$

⇒ y = $\frac{12.63338}{0.99452}$

= 12.703

y = 12.70 km

$\frac{x}{Sin Q}$ = $\frac{z}{Sin S}$

$\frac{x}{Sin 36^{o} }$ = $\frac{17}{Sin 96^{o} }$

$\frac{x}{0.58779}$ = $\frac{17}{0.99452}$

⇒ x = $\frac{9.992430}{0.99452}$

= 10.0475

x = 10.05 km

Thus,

the ship S is at a distance of 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.
