This article is about a mathematical relationship between lines. For other uses, see Parallel (disambiguation). "Parallel lines" redirects here. For other uses, see Parallel lines (disambiguation). Line art drawing of parallel lines and curves.

In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. By extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional Euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel. However, two lines in three-dimensional space which do not meet must be in a common plane to be considered parallel; otherwise they are called skew lines. Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet.

Parallel lines are the subject of Euclid's parallel postulate.[1] Parallelism is primarily a property of affine geometries and Euclidean geometry is a special instance of this type of geometry. In some other geometries, such as hyperbolic geometry, lines can have analogous properties that are referred to as parallelism.

Three listening stations located at (3300, 0), (3300, 1100), and (-3300, 0) monitor an explosion. The last two stations detect t
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The coordinates of the explosion is (3300, -2750)

Step-by-step explanation:

I have plot the points and attached to thus answer for easy understanding.

Now, from the question, since station A is the first to hear the explosion, we'll make it the foci of the parabola in the graph I attached and it will be horizontal since the distance between station C and A is much more than that between station B and A. Thus, the reason why station C will have to be the other foci with the hyperbola centred at the origin.

Now, sound travels at a speed of 1100 ft/s and station B is located 1100 ft from station A. Thus, the explosion would likely have occurred at a point on the line x = 3300ft . Since station A is 3300ft from centre C = 3300,hence C² = 3300² = 10,890,000. Since it takes 4 seconds longer for the sound to reach station C than A, the sound has traveled 4(1100)= 4400 ft.

Thus, 4400 = d1 = d2 = 2a

So,2a = 4400 and so, a =2200

a² = 2200² = 4,840,000 where d1 is the distance from station C to the explosion and d2 is the distance from station A to the explosion. To find b², let's use the equation ;

c² = a² + b² and so; b² = c² - a² = 10,890,000 - 4,840,000 = 6,050,000

Equation of hyperbola is given as;

(x²/a²) - (y²/b²) = 1

Plugging in the values of a² and b², we obtain ;

(x²/4,840,000) - (y²/6,050,000) = 1

Since we have deduced that the explosion must occur on the line x= 3300, we'll put in 3300 for x to obtain ;

(3300²/4,840,000) - (y²/6,050,000) = 1

2.25 - 1 = (y²/6,050,000)

y² = (1.25 x 6,050,000)

y² = 7562500

y = √7562500

y = ± 2750

Due to the fact that the explosion will occur at a point further from station B than from station A, the explosion will take place in quadrant 4. Thus, we will take the negative value of y which is - 2750.

So explosion will occur at the coordinate (3300, -2750)
