For this case what we should observe is that we have a rectangle triangle where we know:
 Angle.
 Hypotenuse.
 We want to know:
 opposite cateto
 Adjacent cateto
 We apply the following trigonometric formulas:
 Sine (x) = C.O / h
 Cosine (x) = C.A / h
 Where,
 x: angle
 C.O: opposite leg
 C.A: adjacent leg
 h: hypotenuse
 Substituting values:
 Sine (60) = C.O / 0.5
 Cosine (60) = C.A / 0.5
 Clearing:
 C.O = 0.5 * Sine (60) = 0.43
 C.A = 0.5 * Cosine (60) = 0.25
 Then, adding both sides we have:
 C.O + C.A = 0.43 + 0.25 = 0.68 miles
 Answer:
 
you now woluld have to sail:
 
a.
 
0.68 miles

In ΔPQR, what is the m∠Q?.
charle [14.2K]

The sum of the 3 inside angles of a triangle needs to equal 180:

11x-5 + 6x + 5 + c = 180

Combine like terms:

18x = 180

Divide both sides by 18:

X = 10

Solve for Q:

11x -5= 11(10) -5 = 110-5 = 105 degrees
