A ship at position (1, 0) on a nautical chart (with north in the positive y direction) sights a rock at position (7, 5). What an

gle θ does this vector make with due north? (This is called the bearing of the rock from the ship. Round your answer to two decimal places.) answer should be in radians east of north

Answer:

0.69473828 radians east of north.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interpreting the information given on a Cartesian plane, the position of the ship will be (1,0) and that of the rock will be (7,5). Connecting the point (1,0) and (7,5) with a line and dropping a perpendicular line from point (7,5) to the x-axis to intersect the x-axis at (7,0), will form a right-triangle with base length 6 units and a height of 5 units.

<u>Finding the base length from points (1,0) and (7,0)</u>

d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

d=√(7-1)²

d= √6²

d=6 units

<u>Finding the height from points (7,5) and (7,0)</u>

d=√(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

d=√(7-7)² + (0-5)²

d=√-5²

d=√25

d=5 units

So you now have a right triangle with base length 6 units and height 5 units.

To get the bearing of rock from ship position you apply the formula for tangent of an angle

Tan Ф = length of opposite side/length of adjustment side

TanФ=5/6

Tan Ф =0.83333333333

Tan⁻¹ (0.83333333333) =0.69473828 radians east of north.

a rectangle is made by joining two squares adjacent to each other as shown below. if one squared has an area of 144 squared cent
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Hello! After reading your question I have deduced that the correct answer is 288² cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I came to this conclusion was as follows:

Firstly:

If said rectangle is two squares put side by side (adjacent), then a valid assumption is that both squares are the same size.

This is because all four sides of a square have to be equal.

Thus if the two squares are joined together on one side, then all the other sides of both the squares will be the same length.

Thus both of the squares are going to be the same size, so they will have the same area.

Secondly:

If the area of one square is 144² cm then the area of the other square should also be 144² cm.

Thus if you combine the areas of both the squares, that make up the rectangle, you are left with the area of the rectangle being 288² cm.

I hope this helped!

How to do this question plz ​
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

10:1

90 red counters

30 blue

1/3 of 90 =30

80% of 30 =24

90-30 =60 remaining red counters

30-24 =6 remaining blue counters

= 60:6 simplest form is 10:1
