In the San Gabriel Mountains in California, lookout station Running Deer is 18 kilometers due west of station Lazy Bear. The bea

ring from Running Deer to a fire directly south of Lazy Bear is S38.4°E. To the nearest tenth of a kilometer, how far is the fire from Running Deer?

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.

What does it mean to draw and label a line a line segment a ray and an angle
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

A line in geometry is a straight line that goes on infinitely in two directions. To draw a line, you would draw a straight line and add two small arrows on both ends to indicate that they stretch infinitely. To label a line, you would either label two points on the line, or you can assign a letter to the line. (Example: ↔AB or line A)

A line segment is similar to a line, but it doesn't go infinitely in either direction. To draw a line segment, you would draw two points and connect them. To label a line segment, you would label the two endpoints. (Example: ¯AB)

A ray is a line with one side that extends infinitely. To draw a ray, you would draw a point, draw a line from the point going in any direction, and add an arrow on the other end to indicate that it extends forever. To label a ray, you would label the endpoint and some other point on the ray. (Example: →AB)

An angle is the shape formed by two rays that have a common endpoint. To draw an angle, you would draw an endpoint and make two separate rays coming off of it. Then you would draw a short arc in the space between the rays to indicate that it is an angle. There are three ways to label an angle:

1. Label the vertex (∠A)

2. Label a point on one ray, the endpoint, then a point on the other ray (∠BAC)

3. Label the angle with a number or letter (∠1, ∠A)

A box contains 10 red , 3 blue, and 7 white balls , two balls are drawn at random from the box on after the other without replac
mestny [16]

Answer:

P(XX) = 69/190

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

20 balls, 10R, 3B, 7W.

Two taken without replacement.

Find probability of two identical colours.

P(XX)

Solution:

We use the multiplication rule for the probability of each of the 2 draws

P(RR) = 10/20*9/19 = 90/380

P(BB) = 3/20*2/19 = 6/380

P(WW) = 7/20*6/19 = 42/380

Probability of drawing two identical coloured balls

P(XX) = (90+6+42)/380 = 138/380 = 69/190

Ella has 50 stacks of 10 pennies in each sack describe how to find how many pennies Ella had in all
GrogVix [38]
She has 50 stacks with 10 pennies in each, so multiply 50 by 10
50*10 = 500
so she has 500 pennies in total.
