An aeroplane X whose average speed is 50°km/hr leaves kano airport at 7.00am and travels for 2 hours on a bearing 050°. It then

changes its course and flies on a bearing 1200 to an airstrip A. Another aeroplane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and flies on a straight course to the airstrip A. both planes arrives at the airstrip A at 11.30am. calculate the average speed of Y to three significant figures. the direction of flight Y to the nearest degree

Answer:

(a)123 km/hr

(b)39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane X with an average speed of 50km/hr travels for 2 hours from P (Kano Airport) to point Q in the diagram.

Distance = Speed X Time

Therefore: PQ =50km/hr X 2 hr =100 km

It moves from Point Q at 9.00 am and arrives at the airstrip A by 11.30am.

Distance, QA=50km/hr X 2.5 hr =125 km

Using alternate angles in the diagram:

\angle Q=110^\circ

(a)First, we calculate the distance traveled, PA by plane Y.

Using Cosine rule

q^2=p^2+a^2-2pa\cos Q\\q^2=100^2+125^2-2(100)(125)\cos 110^\circ\\q^2=34175.50\\q=184.87$ km

SInce aeroplane Y leaves kano airport at 10.00am and arrives at 11.30am

Time taken =1.5 hour

Therefore:

Average Speed of Y

=184.87 \div 1.5\\=123.25$ km/hr\\\approx 123$ km/hr (correct to three significant figures)

(b)Flight Direction of Y

Using Law of Sines

\dfrac{p}{\sin P} =\dfrac{q}{\sin Q}\\\dfrac{125}{\sin P} =\dfrac{184.87}{\sin 110}\\123 \times \sin P=125 \times \sin 110\\\sin P=(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87\\P=\arcsin [(125 \times \sin 110) \div 184.87]\\P=39^\circ $ (to the nearest degree)

The direction of flight Y to the nearest degree is 39 degrees.

Given: mTP= 70°,m∠EPT = 54° Find: Angles of △SPT
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The Angles of △SPT are

m\angle STP=35\°  

m\angle SPT=126\°

m\angle PST=19\°

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the measure of angle PET

we know that

The inscribed angle is half that of the arc it comprises.

m\angle PET=\frac{1}{2}(arc\ PT)

substitute the given values

m\angle PET=\frac{1}{2}(70\°)

m\angle PET=35\°

step 2

Find the measure of angle PTE

we know that

The sum of internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In the triangle PET

m\angle PET+m\angle EPT+m\angle PTE=180\°

substitute the given values

35\°+54\°+m\angle PTE=180\°

m\angle PTE=180\°-89\°=91\°

step 3

Find the measure of angle STP  

we know that

The inscribed angle is half that of the arc it comprises.

m\angle STP=\frac{1}{2}(arc\ TP)

substitute the given values

m\angle STP=\frac{1}{2}(70\°)=35\°

step 4

Find the measure of angle SPT

we know that

m\angle SPT+m\angle EPT=180\° ----> by supplementary angles

m\angle SPT+54\°=180\°

m\angle SPT=180\°-54\°=126\°

step 5

Find the measure of angle PST

we know that

The sum of internal angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In the triangle SPT

m\angle STP+m\angle SPT+m\angle PST=180\°

substitute the given values

35\°+126\°+m\angle PST=180\°

m\angle PST=180\°-161\°=19\°
