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.

For part A the choices are 25 and 34 and for part b it is 2 and 10
diamong [38]

Answer:

Part A is 34

Part B is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question did provide some clues to answer this question. Every week, the area covered by the algae is multiplied by 2^1.

To find the area cover increase by the algae per day, the exponent should be divided by 7 since there are 7 days in a week. Hence, every day, the area covered by the algae multiplies by 2^(1/7). In other words, 1 day after the algae was spotted, the area is 12.5 * 2^(1/7), which answers part B.

10 days after the algae was spotted, the area covered by the algae is 12.5 * 2^[(1/7)*10] = 33.6475... , which rounds up to 34 and answers part A.

ABCD is a quadrilateral <br>Work out angle x<br>​
netineya [11]

First of all, we can work out the length of BD: using the pythagorean theorem, we have

BD = \sqrt{6^2+8^2}=10

Now, we can work on triangle BCD and use the sine theorem: we have

\dfrac{BD}{\sin(\hat{C})} = \dfrac{CD}{\sin(x)}

Plugging the values and solving for \sin(x) we have

\dfrac{10}{\sin(29)} = \dfrac{13}{\sin(x)} \iff \sin(x)=\dfrac{13\cdot \sin(29)}{10}\approx 0.63

We deduce

x=\arcsin(0.63)\approx 39

sean rented an SUV for 2 days and drove it 430 miles the daily rate was 46.99 and .35 per mile with the first 50 miles being fre
pishuonlain [190]
So, to solve this problem you just have to add up all of the smaller parts.

First, we have our daily charge: $46.99
2 * 46.99 = $93.98

Next, we have our mileage costs, which will be
[ (miles driven) * (charge per mile) ] - (50 * 0.35)
(430 * 0.35) - 17.5
150.50 - 17.50 = $133

Finally, we add our daily rate to our mileage costs.
93.98 + 133 = $226.98
