Answer:
I) |xz| ≈ 28.6 km
II) |yz| ≈ 34.8 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the position of ship due south of x is z (aà pictor representation of the question is attached)
|xy| = 20 km, |xz| = ?, |yz| = ?, θ(y) = 55°
Using Trigonometric ratio - SOHCAHTOA
I) Tan θ = |xz| ÷ |xy| ⇒ Tan 55° = |xz| ÷ 20
|xz| = 20 * Tan 55 = 20 * 1.428
|xz| = 28.56 km
|xz| ≈ <u>28.6 km</u>
<u />
II) Cos θ = |xy| ÷ |yz| ⇒ Cos 55° = 20 ÷ |yz|
|yz| * Cos 55° = 20 ⇒ |yz| = 20 ÷ Cos 55°
|yz| = 20 ÷ 0.574 = 34.84 km
|yz| ≈ <u>34.8 km</u>

Answer:
A. no
B. no
C. obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
For side lengths to form a triangle, the sum of the shorter two must exceed the longest.
A. 5 + 8 = 13 . . . . a line segment, not a triangle
B. 7 + 12 < 26 . . . . no closure, not a triangle
C. 11 + 15 > 20 . . . . a triangle. A picture shows it to be obtuse
You can also compare 11² +15² vs 20² ⇒ 346 vs 400. The long side is too long for a right triangle, so the triangle must be obtuse. (The Pythagorean theorem tells you a right triangle with those legs would have a long side of √346 = 18.6.)
