Answer:

Option A) 33.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The above is a right angled triangle, thus we can apply trigonometry.

<em>Above here the hypotenous is 58 units and opposite side to angle x is 32 units. </em>

$sin(x) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenous} = \frac{32}{58} = 0.552$

Thus,

$x = sin^{-1}(0.552) = 33.5 degrees$

Thus, the measure of angle x is 33.5 degrees, which means Option A is correct.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The wind pushed the plane $65.01$ miles in the direction of $45.56 ^{\circ}$ East of North with respect to the destination point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let origin, O, br the starting point and point D be the destination at 250 miles at a bearing of 20° E of S, but due to wind let D' be the actual position of the plane at 230 miles away from the starting point in the direction of 35° E of South as shown in the figure.

So, we have |OD|=250 miles and |OD'|=230 miles.

Vector $\overrightarrow{DD'}$ is the displacement vector of the plane pushed by the wind.

From figure, the magnitude of the required displacement vector is

$|DD'|=\sqrt{|AB|^2+|PQ|^2}\;\cdots(i)$

and the direction is $\alpha$ east of north as shown in the figure,

$\tan \alpha=\frac{|PQ|}{|AB|}\;\cdots(ii)$

From the figure,

$|AB|=|OA-OB|$

$\Rightarrow |AB|=|OD\cos 20 ^{\circ}-OD'\cos 35 ^{\circ}|$

$\Rightarrow |AB|=|250\cos 20 ^{\circ}-230\cos 35 ^{\circ}|$

$\Rightarrow |AB|=45.52$ miles

Again, $|PQ|=|OP-OQ|$

$\Rightarrow |PQ|=|OD\sin 20 ^{\circ}-OD'\sin 35 ^{\circ}|$

$\Rightarrow |PQ|=|250\sin 20 ^{\circ}-230\sin 35 ^{\circ}|$

$\Rightarrow |PQ|=46.42$ miles

Now, from equations (i) and (ii), we have

$|DD'|=\sqrt{|45.52|^2+|46.42|^2}=65.01$ miles, and

$\tan \alpha=\frac{|46.42|}{|45.52|}$

$\alpha=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{|46.42|}{|45.52|}\right)=45.56 ^{\circ}$

Hence, the wind pushed the plane $65.01$ miles in the direction of $45.56 ^{\circ}$ E astof North with respect to the destination point.

A couple plans to have 3 children. Assuming the probability of having either a boy or a girl is 50%, what is the probability the

Stels [109]

Answer:

0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having at least one girl out of 3 children can be calculated as;

P(1 girl, 2 boys) or P(2 girls, 1 boy) or P(3 girls)

Since the P(b) = P(g) = 1/2

Then the probability at any point in time is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

So we have ;

1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 3/8 = 0.375
