Answer:

29.0 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Lookout station Running Deer is at A, Station Lazy Bear is at B and Fire is at C.

Bearing from Running deer to Fire is S38.4°E.

Therefore, m∠SAC = m∠ACB = 38.4°

Distance between the stations Running Deer and Lazy Beer = 18 km

From the given triangle ABC,

Sin(C) = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}

Sin(38.4)° = \frac{18}{y}

y = \frac{18}{\text{Sin}38.4}

y = 28.978 ≈ 29.0 km

Therefore, distance between Fire and Running deer is 29 kilometers.

Find the area of the figure below.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Area = 42 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

here's your solution

=> divide above picture in two parts

=> rectangle and traingle

=> area of rectangle = length* width

=> area of rectangle = (5*6)in.

=> area of rectangle = 30 in^2

=> now, area of traingle = 1/2*base *height

=> area of traingle = 1/2*4*6

=> area of traingle = 12 in^2

=> area of figure = 30 in^2 + 12 in^2

=> Area = 42 in^2

hope it helps

agasfer [191]

Answer:

x=2,\:y=-16

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{bmatrix}-8x+y=-32\\ -3x-10=y\end{bmatrix}\\\\\mathrm{Isolate}\:x\:\mathrm{for}\:-8x+y=-32:\quad x=-\frac{-32-y}{8}\\\\\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-\frac{-32-y}{8}\\\begin{bmatrix}-3\left(-\frac{-32-y}{8}\right)-10=y\end{bmatrix}\\\\Simplify\\\begin{bmatrix}\frac{3\left(-32-y\right)}{8}-10=y\end{bmatrix}\\\\\mathrm{Isolate}\:y\:\mathrm{for}\:\frac{3\left(-32-y\right)}{8}-10=y:\quad y=-16\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x=-\frac{-32-y}{8}\\\\\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-16\\x=-\frac{-32-\left(-16\right)}{8}\\

-\frac{-32-\left(-16\right)}{8}=2\\x=2\\x=2,\:y=-16
