A boat race runs along a triangular course marked by buoys A, B, and C. The race starts with the boats headed west for 3700 mete

rs. The other two sides of the course lie to the north of the first side, and their lengths are 1700 meters and 2900 meters. Draw a figure that gives a visual representation of the situation. Then find the bearings for the last two legs of the race.

Answer:

The  last two bearings are

49.50° and 104.02°

Explanation:

Applying the Law of cosine (refer to the figure attached):

we have

x² = y² + z² - 2yz × cosX

here,

x, y and z represents the lengths of sides opposite to the angels X,Y and Z.

Thus we have,

cos X=\frac{x^2-y^2-z^2}{-2yz}

or

cos X=\frac{y^2 + z^2-x^2}{2yz}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

cos X=\frac{2900^2 + 3700^2-1700^2}{2\times 2900\times 3700}

or

cos X=0.8951

or

X = 26.47°

similarly,

cos Y=\frac{1700^2 + 3700^2-2900^2}{2\times 1700\times 3700}

or

cos Y=0.649

or

Y = 49.50°

Consequently, the angel Z = 180° - 49.50 - 26.47 = 104.02°

The bearing of 2 last legs of race are angels Y and Z.

nadezda [96]
Question is from B to C

Answer: (b) 1.5m/s

x1=3m, x2=9m
t1=1s, t2=5s
Displacement, ∆x=(9-3)m=6m
Time elapsed, ∆t=(5-1)s=4s

So average velocity v =∆x/∆t=6/4=1.5m/s

An agriculturalist working with Australian pine trees wanted to investigate the relationship between the age and the height of t
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The available regression equation is: Predict height= 0.29 + 0.48 (age).

Here, the predict height is dependent variable and the  age is in-dependent variable.

Intercept = 0.29

Slope      = 0.48

The given regression equation indicates the y on x model and the intercept coefficients of the regression equation is 0.29 and the slope is 0.48.

Step 2:

The height increases, an average, by 0.48 m per year.

Because co-efficient of slope variable indicate the positive sign and we increase 1 year in age then automatically height increased is 0.48 m.

<h3></h3><h3>The height increases, on average, by 0.48 meter each year.</h3>
