To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must apply the Law of Cosines, as you can see in the figure attached. Then:

- The first ship travels at 27 mi/hr in for two hours. Therefore, the side a is:

a=(27 mi/hr)(2 hr)=54mi

- The second ship travels at 18 mi/hr for 1.5 hours. Therefore, the side b is:

b=(18mi/hr)(1.5hr)=27mi

- Now, you can calculate c:

c=\sqrt{54^{2}+27^{2}-2(54)(27)Cos(55)}=44 mi

The answer is: 44 miles

If RS = 17, ST = x + 6, and RT = 3x - 5, What is ST.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

ST = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment RS and segment ST must add up to line segment RT

Step 1: Define

RS = 17

ST = x + 6

RT = 3x - 5

Step 2: Set up equation

mRS + mST = mRT

17 + x + 6 = 3x - 5

Step 3: Solve for <em>x</em>

x + 23 = 3x - 5

23 = 2x - 5

28 = 2x

x = 14

Step 3: Find mST

ST = x + 6

ST = 14 + 6

ST = 20
