Two ships leave the same port in different directions, forming a 120° angle between them. One ship travels 70 mi. and the other

52 mi. before they each drop their anchors. What is the distance between the ships to the nearest mile?

Answer : Distance between the ships to the nearest miles = 106.03 ≈ 106 mi.

Explanation :

Since we have shown in the figure below :

a=70 mi.

b=52 mi.

c=x mi.

\text{Since two ships leaves the same port in different directions forming a }120\textdegree\text{angle between them.}

So, we use the cosine rule , which states that

 c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab.cosC\\\\x^2=70^2+52^2-2\times 70\times 52\times cos(120\textdegree)\\\\x^2=4900+2704-7280\times (-0.5)\\\\x^2=7604+3640\\\\x^2=11244\\\\x=\sqrt{11244}\\\\x=106.03

So, c = x= 106.03 mi.

Hence, distance between the ships to the nearest miles = 106.03 ≈ 106 mi.

The area of ΔIDK is 32.69 square units.

Solution:

Given data:

ID = 7 and Hypotenuse, KI = 11.67.

Let us first find KD:

Using Pythagoras theorem,

\text {Base}^{2}+\text {Height}^{2}=\text {Hypotenuse}^{2}

ID^2 + KD^2 = KI^2

7^2 + KD^2 = (11.67)^2

49 + KD^2 = 136.1889

Subtract 49 from both sides.

KD^2=87.1889

Taking square root on both sides, we get

KD = 9.34

Area of the triangle = \frac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{height}

                                $=\frac{1}{2}\times{7}\times{9.34}

                                = 32.69

The area of ΔIDK is 32.69 square units.

The transformations and their respective descriptions are:

A. (x, y) ⇒ (3x, y) implies horizontal stretch by a scale factor of 3

B. (x, y) ⇒ (x+3, y) implies translation 3 units right

C. (x, y) ⇒ (x, 3y) implies vertical stretch by a factor of 3

D. (x, y) ⇒ (x, y+3) implies  implies translation 3 units up

E. (x, y) ⇒ (3x, 3y) implies dilation with a scale factor 3

<h3>What is Translation?</h3>

Translation is an algebraic transformation of a shape by moving the vertices some units along the x or y axis.

When a shape is translated it may move to a new position depending on the orientation of the translation.

Analysis:

For A, the x coordinate was transformed three times its initial value stretching it horizontally.

For B, the x coordinate moved 3 units further away from its initial value making the new value x+3 and y remaining the same.

For C, the y coordinated was transformed to a value three times what it was, making it to be stretched vertically, since the y-axis is a vertical axis.

For D, the y coordinate was moves 3 units away from its initial position making it to be translated up, since 3 is positive.

For E, both coordinates were stretched 3 units as much as their original value making the shape to dilate.

Slope: 0<br> y-intercept: -2<br> .
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The linear equation is the equation of straight line. where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept. Thus, the y-intercept is expressed as (0, c). That is where the graph intercepts the y-axis (thus, the x value would be 0).

An angle measures 149.2° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Oksanka [162]
<h2>Solving for the measurements of Complementary Angles</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

15.4^{\circ} and 164.6^{\circ}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Recall that Angles that are supplementary to each other add up to 180^{\circ}.

Let a be the measure of the supplementary angle.

If an angle is 149.2^{\circ} more than its supplementary angle, the measure of that angle is a +149.2. The sum of both angles are expressed a +(a +149.2) but since the have to add to 180 as they are supplementary, a +(a +149.2) = 180.

Solving for a:

a +(a +149.2) = 180 \\ a +a +149.2 = 180 \\ 2a +149.2 = 180 \\ 2a +149.2 -149.2 = 180 -149.2 \\ 2a = 30.8 \\ \frac{2a}{2} = \frac{30.8}{2} \\ a = 15.4

Since the other angle measures a +149.2, we can plug in the value of a to find the measure of the angle.

Evaluating a +149.2:

a +149.2 \\ 15.4 +149.2 \\ 164.6

The measure of the angles are 15.4^{\circ} and 164.6^{\circ}
