Answer: 12.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the ship is doing a circular path.

We know that the ship is 120° from the north, and we want to find the distance that the ship has traveled so far from the most northern tip of the island.

This distance will be equal to the length of the arc of 120°

You can find this as:

Arc = (angle*3.14/180)*radius

arc = (120*3.14/180)*6 miles  = 12.56 miles

Now we need to round it to the nearest tenth, so we need to round it up, and we get 12.6 miles

Interpret (1,15)<br><br> interpret (4,60)
statuscvo [17]

Interpreting (1,15) with (4,60), found that (4,60) is 4 times of the coordinate (1,15).

<h3>What are coordinates?</h3>

A pair of numbers that describe the position of a point on a coordinate plane by using the horizontal and vertical distances from the two reference axes.

For interpreting we have to find the relation between (1,15) and (4,60)

We have, (1,15)

For x- coordinate 1, y- coordinate will be 15

Now,

let us take x- coordinate=2 then y- coordinate =30

again, if x-coordinate = 3 then y-coordinate  = 45

lastly, if the x-coordinate =4 then y-coordinate = 60

That means (4,60) is the 4 times of the coordinate (1,15) i.e., the x-coordinate is 4 times as well as the y- coordinate is 4 times.

angle A and angle B are complementary that is their measurements add up to 90° Angle B measures 32° more than Angle A what are t
xenn [34]
Angle A is 29 and Angle B is 61. It’s problem can be solved by written the equation X+X+32=90. This becomes 2X+32=90 subtract 32 from each side making 2X=58 divide by 2 X=29 and just plug x in to solve for both angle names.

Find the median of the data set<br> 3/8 3/4 9/16 7/12
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median you must align all the numbers least to greatest so the order goes like this. 3,3,4,7,8,9,12,16. Then you must find the number in the middle. since there is not a number in the middle you add 7 and 8 together and then divide by 2 which is 7.5
