The bearing of a lighthouse from a ship is N 37° E. The ship sails 2.5 miles further from the lighthouse. The new bearing is 25°

Answer:

The distance between the ship at N 25°E and the lighthouse would be 7.26 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question should be

The bearing of a lighthouse from a ship is N 37° E. The ship sails 2.5 miles further towards the south. The new bearing is N 25°E. What is the distance between the lighthouse and the ship at the new location?

Given the initial bearing of a lighthouse from the ship is N 37° E. So, $\angle ABN$ is 37°. We can see from the diagram that $\angle ABC$ would be $180-37=$ 143°.

Also, the new bearing is N 25°E. So, $\angle BCA$ would be 25°.

Now we can find $\angle BAC$ . As the sum of the internal angle of a triangle is 180°.

$\angle ABC+\angle BCA+\angle BAC=180\\143+25+\angle BAC=180\\\angle BAC=180-143-25\\\angle BAC=12$

Also, it was given that ship sails 2.5 miles from N 37° E to N 25°E. We can see from the diagram that this distance would be our BC.

And let us assume the distance between the lighthouse and the ship at N 25°E is $AC=x$

We can apply the sine rule now.

$\frac{x}{sin(143)}=\frac{2.5}{sin(12)}\\ \\x=\frac{2.5}{sin(12)}\times sin(143)\\\\x=\frac{2.5}{0.207}\times 0.601\\ \\x=7.26\ miles$

So, the distance between the ship at N 25°E and the lighthouse is 7.26 miles.

2<br> 2. Evaluate (a + y)+ 2y if a = 5 and y = -3.<br> F 58<br> G -2<br> H 70<br> J 10

NARA [144]

<h3>Answer: G) -2</h3>

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

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to say (a+y)^2 + 2y

Replace each copy of 'a' with 5. Replace each copy of 'y' with -3. Use PEMDAS to simplify.

(a+y)^2 + 2y

(5 + (-3))^2 + 2(-3)

(5-3)^2 + 2(-3)

(2)^2 + 2(-3)

4 + 2(-3)

4 - 6

-2

So (a+y)^2 + 2y = -2 when a = 5 and y = -3.

At an art exhibition there are 12 paintings of which 10 are original. A visitor selects a painting at random and before decides

Reika [66]

Answer:

a) 0.8333

b) 0.75

c) 0.8181 or 0.9090

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The probability the visitor selects an authentic painting is

10/12 = 0.8333

b)

Since the opinion of the expert does not depend on your choice, the events are <em>independent</em>, so the probability that the expert says is authentic and it really is, is

0.8333*0.9 = 0.75

c)

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is not, then there are 11 paintings of which 9 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

9/11= 0.8181

If the expert decides the painting is a copy and it is, then there are 11 paintings of which 10 are authentic, so the probability the visitor selects a new original painting is

10/11= 0.9090
