Mathematics

VladimirAG [237]3 years ago

Answer:

16.28 mph ; 79.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Speed of child due east = 3mph

Speed of ship due North = 16mph

Relative speed of th child is obtained by using Pythagoras rule to find the hypotenus

Relative Speed = Sqrt(3² + 16²)

Relative Speed = sqrt(9 + 256)

= sqrt(265)

= 16.2788 mph

= 16.28 mph

From trigonometry ;

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = (16 / 3)

Tanθ = 5.333

θ = tan^-1(5.333)

θ = 79.379°

θ = 79.38°

(7x²+2x+5)+(3x²-8x-10)
Mariulka [41]
First you would simplify the equation <span>(7x²+2x+5)+(3x²-8x-10) lets start with the first part 
</span><span>(7x²+2x+5) 
</span>7x² + 2x which = 49x + 2x which also = 51x Then you add the last part (+5) 
51x + 5
Now you simplify the last part.
<span>(3x²-8x-10)
</span>3x²-8x which=9x - 8x which also = 1x or simply x Then add the last part (-10) Which you'll get x-10 
51x + 5) + (x - 10) = 52x -5
so your answer is 52x - 5

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 72 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than it length. Find the length a
lesya [120]

P = L + L + w + w

72 = 2(L) + 2(L-4)

Distribute

72 = 2(L) + 2(L) - 8

Add like terms

72 = 4(L) - 8

Subtract 8 from both sides

64 = 4(L)

Divide both sides by 4

16 = L

The length is 16. Now substitute that in the equation for finding w.

w = L - 4

w =

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=-2/7x + 9 and that passes through the point (-4,6) [FP]​
siniylev [52]

Answer:

$y=(7/2)x+20$

Step-by-step explanation:

SInce the gradient of the first line is $-2/7$ then the gradien of the perpendicular line is $7/2$.

Therefore by the point slope formula the line that we are looking for is

$y-6=(7/2)(x+4)$

$y=(7/2)x + 20$

How to solve 45 45 90 triangle given hypotenuse?
statuscvo [17]
From the Special Triangle Theorem, the hypotenuse is equal to the side lengtht times the Sqrt(2).
So hypotenuse H = xSqrt(2), x=H/Sqrt(2).
Using numbers, if H = 7, then x = 7/Sqrt(2) = 7Sqrt(2)/2 to rationalize it.
