Answer:

12 ft and 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a part is x ft and the other is (2x+1) ft

so 37= x + 2x+1

37= 3x+1

-1 -1

36= 3x

:3 :3

x= 36:3

I= x= 12 ft

II= 2x+1=2*12+1=25 ft

LORAN is a long range hyperbolic navigation system. Suppose two LORAN transmitters are located at the coordinates (−60,0) and (6

USPshnik [31]

LORAN follows an hyperbolic path.

The equation of the hyperbola is: $\mathbf{\frac{x^2}{2500} + \frac{y^2}{1100} = 1}$

The coordinates are given as:

$\mathbf{(x,y) = (-60,0)\ (60,0)}$

The center of the hyperbola is

$\mathbf{(h,k) = (0,0)}$

The distance from the center to the focal points is given as:

$\mathbf{c = 60}$

Square both sides

$\mathbf{c^2 = 3600}$

The distance from the receiver to the transmitters is given as:

$\mathbf{2a = 100}$

Divide both sides by 2

$\mathbf{a = 50}$

Square both sides

$\mathbf{a^2 = 2500}$

We have:

$\mathbf{b^2 = c^2 - a^2}$

This gives

$\mathbf{b^2 = 3600 - 2500}$

$\mathbf{b^2 = 1100}$

The equation of an hyperbola is:

$\mathbf{\frac{(x - h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y - k)^2}{b^2} = 1}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{\frac{(x - 0)^2}{2500} + \frac{(y - 0)^2}{1100} = 1}$

$\mathbf{\frac{x^2}{2500} + \frac{y^2}{1100} = 1}$

Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is: $\mathbf{\frac{x^2}{2500} + \frac{y^2}{1100} = 1}$
