By how many degrees did the direction of the boat change

Mathematics

Answer:

The boat turned <u>39°</u> degrees when it made its first turn.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

A boat traveled north for 28 miles, then tuned x° south west and traveled for 25 miles before stopping. When it stopped, the boat was 18 miles from its starting point.

By how many degrees did the direction of the boat change when it made its first turn? Round to the nearest degree.

===================================================

See the attached figure which represent explanation of the problem.

The boat start from point A to point B then stopped at point C

AB = 28 miles, BC = 25 miles and AC = 18 miles.

It is required to find the angle x

By applying the cosine Rule:

AC² = AB² + BC² - 2 * AB * BC * cos x

18² = 28² + 25² - 2 * 28 * 25 * cos x

2 * 28 * 25 * cos x = 28² + 25² - 18²

1400 cos x = 1085

Cos x = 1085/1400 = 0.775

x = Cos⁻¹ 0.775 = 39.2° = 39° to the nearest degree.

So, the boat turned <u>39°</u> degrees when it made its first turn.

Giselle works as a carpenter and as a blacksmith.
seropon [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

$20/hr carpenter pay

$25/hr blacksmith pay

Let c = hours working carpentry

Let b = hours working as blacksmith

c + b = 30 {equation 1}

20c + 25b = 690 {equation 2}

In equation 1 solve for one variable in terms of the other.

c = 30-b

Substitute that into equation 2:

20(30-b) + 25b = 690

600 - 20b + 25b = 690

5b = 90

b = 90/5

b = 18 hours working as a blacksmith

c = 30-b = 30-18 = 12 hours as a carpenter

A rectangular prism with a volume of 101010 cubic units is filled with cubes with side lengths of \dfrac12
lawyer [7]
Given that the volume of the prism is given by:
10 cubic units and the the side length of cubes to fill the prism is 1/2 units. Then the number of cubes required to fill the prism will be given by:
(volume of rectangular prism)/(volume of cube)
but
volume of cube is:
volume=length*width*height
volume=1/2×1/2×1/2=1/8 cubic units
thus the number of cubes required to fill the prism will be:
10/(1/8)
=10×8/1
=80 cube
Answer: 80 cubes
