Looking at a number in different ways can help understand it’s application better. For example, giving an answer with radicals(square roots) is precise, but it’s not practical because you really don’t know what that number means.

A small plane flew 808 miles in 4 hours with the wind. Then on the return trip flying against the wind it travels only 488 miles
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let wind velocity=x

speed of plane=y

(x+y)*4=808

x+y=808/4=202   ...(1)

(y-x)*4=488

y-x=122 ...(2)

add (1) and (2)

2y=202+122=324

y=324/2=162

from (1)

x+162=202

x=202-162=40

wind velocity=40 m/hr

speed of plane=162 m/hr

A luxury liner leaves a port on a bearing of 110 degrees and travels 8.8 miles. It then turns due west and travels 2.4 miles. Ho
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Distance= 6.6 miles

Bearing= N 62.854°W

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's determine angle b first

Angle b=20° (alternate angles)

Using cosine rule

Let the distance between the liner and the port be x

X² =8.8²+2.4²-2(8.8)(2.4)cos20

X²= 77.44 + 5.76-(39.69)

X²= 43.51

X= √43.51

X= 6.596

X= 6.6 miles

Let's determine the angles within the triangle using sine rule

2.4/sin b = 6.6/sin20

(2.4*sin20)/6.6= sin b

0.1244 = sin b

7.146= b°

Angle c= 180-20-7.146

Angle c= 152.854°

For the bearing

110+7.146= 117.146

180-117.146= 62.854°

Bearing= N 62.854°W
