9 - 6 + 4 - 8/3 ..,
geometric series a(n) = a1r^(n-1)
r = a(n+1)/a(n)
-6/9 = -2/3
4/-6 = -2/3
-8/3/4 = -2/3
so r = -2/3 and a1 = 9
Sn = a1(1-r^n)/(1-r) = 9(1-(-2/3)^n)/(1-(-2/3))
n is infinite Sn = 9/(5/3) = 27/5
Answer:
37.59 nautical miles
Explanation:
Distance = Speed x Time
The speed of the first ship = 12 knots
Thus, the distance covered after 1.5 hours

The speed of the second ship = 22 knots
Thus, the distance covered after 1.5 hours

The diagram representing the ship's path is drawn and attached below:
The angle at port = 90 degrees.
The triangle is a right triangle.
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
![\begin{gathered} c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ c^2=18^2+33^2 \\ c^2=324+1089 \\ c^2=1413 \\ c=\sqrt[]{1413} \\ c=37.59\text{ miles} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20c%5E2%3Da%5E2%2Bb%5E2%20%5C%5C%20c%5E2%3D18%5E2%2B33%5E2%20%5C%5C%20c%5E2%3D324%2B1089%20%5C%5C%20c%5E2%3D1413%20%5C%5C%20c%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B1413%7D%20%5C%5C%20c%3D37.59%5Ctext%7B%20miles%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
The two ships are 37.59 nautical miles apart after 1.5 hours.

3. ∠VWZ ≅ ∠YWZ Definition of Angle Bisector (2)
4. WZ ≅ WZ Reflexive Property
5. ΔVWZ ≅ ΔYWZ AAS Theorem (1,3,4)
**In case you didn't know the definitions**
Angle Bisector - A line, segment or ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles
Reflexive Property - X = X
AAS Postulate - If two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangle's are congruent
