Problem 9, part a)

Compass bearings always have north as the starting point. This is where 0 degrees is situated, and 360 degrees as well. As the bearing angle increases, you'll turn to the right toward the eastward direction. Effectively you're sweeping out a clockwise rotation. The bearing 322 degrees is in a northwest position as the diagram shows (place the ship at the bottom right corner of the triangle). The bottom right acute angle of the triangle is 322 - 270 = 52 degrees. This is the reference angle we'll use for finding the distance d.

With respect to the reference angle of 52 degrees, the side 18.5 is the opposite side and d is the adjacent side. Use the tangent ratio to get...

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(52) = 18.5/d

d*tan(52) = 18.5

d = 18.5/tan(52)

d = 14.4537840903742

The approximate value of d is 14.4537840903742 km

This rounds to 14.5 when rounding to one decimal place.

<h3>Answer: 14.5 km</h3>

=======================================================

Problem 9, part b)

Recall that

distance = rate*time

where "rate" is another term for "speed" or "velocity"

We can solve this for the time to get

time = distance/rate

------

We found the distance back in part a) above. We are given the rate of 48 km/h

So,

time = distance/rate

time = 14.4537840903742/48

time = 0.3011205018828

This is the time it takes in hours. Multiply by 60 to convert to minutes

0.3011205018828 hours = 60*0.3011205018828 = 18.067230112968 minutes

This rounds to the whole number 18

<h3>Answer: 18 minutes</h3>

Answer:

x = 4, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:

2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24

Subtract the second from the first:

   4x + 4y = 24

-   5x + 4y = 28

4x - 5x = -x

4y = 4y = 0

24 - 28 = -4

so you end with -x + 0 = -4

Solve for x to get x = 4

Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.

2(4) + 2y = 12

8 + 2y = 12

2y = 4

y = 2

Help!!! Thank you<br> Xxxx
Effectus [21]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

First I would write out the points of the x and y intercepts and then I would write out an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). From there I would move my terms accordingly to make it into standard form and compare my answer! Hope this helped!
