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.

What is the best estimate of 687 × 391?<br><br> 280,000<br> 210,000<br> 240,000<br> 180,000
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating a sum by rounding to get the best estimate is the goal of this lesson. Notice that we try to estimate. We don't need to have an exact answer!

Notice that for numbers with two digits, there can only be one estimate because you can only round to the tens place.

Estimate the following sums: 36 + 21, 74 + 15, and 85 + 24

36 + 21 = 40 + 20 = 60

74 + 15 = 70 + 20 = 90
