Answer:

67.88°

Step-by-step explanation:

If three sides of a triangle are known and you want to determine one angle, this can be done using cosine rule.

Given sides x, y, and z and the angle Y is opposite to side y, the cosine formula is given as:

y² = x² + z² - 2xzcosY

For this problem, x = 400 miles, y = 599 miles, z = 320 miles.

Using the cosine formula:

y^2=x^2+z^2-2xzcos(Y)\\Substituting:\\599^2=400^2+320^2-2(400)(320)cos(Y)\\2(400)(320)cos(Y)=400^2+320^2-599^2\\256000cos(Y)=-96401\\cos(Y)=-0.3766\\Y=cos^{-1}(-0.3766)\\Y=112.12^0

Degree to adjust its route at point Y = 180° - 112.12° = 67.88°

It needs to adjust by 67.88° at point Y

This problem should not give you too much difficulty.  The area of a triangle is (LxH)/2.  The area of a rectangle is LxH.  Calculate the area of each triangle and the three rectangles.

When added together, you should get 75.75cm².  

I would show the work for you, but just work through it slowly, and you should get the same thing.

Timothy has a fenced-in garden in the shape of a rhombus. The length of the longer diagonal is 24 feet, and the length of the sh
Marta_Voda [28]

From the Pythagorean Theorem:

side^2 = (.5 * 24)^2 + (.5 * 18)^2

side^2 = 144 + 81

side = sq root (225)

rhombus side = 15 feet

Hi there! The answer is C.

The area of the square in the middle is the following:
length \: \times \: width \: = 5 \times 5 = 25
Hence, the area of the square is 25 cm^2.

The area of one triangle is the following:
0.5 \times base \: \times \: height \: = 0.5 \times 5 \times 8 = 20
Hence, the total area of the four triangles is 4 × 20 = 80 cm^2.

Therefore, the total area of the pyramid is 80 + 25 = 105 cm^2. The answer is C.

Jethro is planting flowers in his garden. He wants the ratio of tulips to roses to be 2 to 1. Jethro wants to plant a total of 1
attashe74 [19]

Given:

Ratio of tulips to roses = 2:1

Total number of flowers = 18

To find:

The number of tulips.

Solution:

Let the number of tulips and roses are 2x and x respectively.

According to the question,

2x+x=18

3x=18

Divide both sides by 3.

x=\dfrac{18}{3}

x=6

Now,

Number of tulips =2(6)

                           =12

Therefore, the number of tulips is 12.
