By how many degrees did the direction of the boat change

Mathematics

gulaghasi [49]3 years ago

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.

E is the midpoint of Df, DE=2x+4, and EF=3x-1. Find all segment lengths
sertanlavr [38]
If E is the midpoint, DE and EF are equivalent.
2x+4=3x-1
4=x-1
5=x

Plug the value of x in
2(5)+4
14

3(5)-1
14

14+14=28

Final answer: DE=14, EF=14, DF= 28

Suppose in Loma, Montana the temperature rose from -2.3 degrees Fahrenheit to 8.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What is the change in temp
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

A: 10.9

Step-by-step explanation:   -2.3 is 2.3 away from zero then add the length from zero to the postive number which in this case is 8.6, therefore the equation is 2.3 + 8.6 = 10.9

Evaluate -6(x-2y) when x= -3 and y= -5<br> a. -42<br> b. 80<br> c. -80<br> d. -16
Vinil7 [7]
Simply substitute x for -3 and y for -5, creating the equation shown below:
     
     -6 (-3 - 2(-5) )
Now that you have your values set up, now you can do the math by starting off with Multiplying -2 by -5, which will get you 10. 

Now that you have the parenthesis simplified in the parenthesis, you can use the distributive property by multiplying all the numbers with -6, like so:
-6(-3+10)= 18 - 60, which simplifies to -42, in which (A) is your answer.
