Definition:A sailboat set a course of N 25° E from a small port along a shoreline that runs north and south. Sometime later the

boat overturned and the crew sent out a distress call. They estimated that they were 12 miles away from the nearest harbor, which is 28 miles north of the port they had set sail from. If a rescue team leaves from the harbor, find all possible courses the team must follow in order to reach the overturned sailboat.

Answer:

S 75°E

S 55°E

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the law if sines of a triangle:

\frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB} = \frac{c}{sinC}

Where,

a = 28 miles

B = 25°

b = 12 miles

First solve for A, using the law of sines:

\frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB}

\frac{28}{sinA} = \frac{12}{sin25}

Cross multiply:

28 sin25 = 12 sinA

11.83 = 12 sinA

Sin A = \frac{11.83}{12}

Sin A = 0.986

A = sin^-^1(0.986)

A = 80.44 degrees

Since A = 80.44° find A supplement, A`:

A` = 180 - 80.44

A` = 99.56°

If A` + B < 180°, find C.

Thus,

A` + B = 99.56 + 25 = 124.56

We can see that A` + B < 180

Find C:

C = 180 - (80.44+25) = 74.56° ≈ 75°

C` = 180 - (99.56+25) = 55.44° ≈ 55°

Rewrite in bearing form:

S 75°E

S 55°E

What is 11 minus a number to equal -3
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

11  - n = -3

-n = -3 - 11 = -14

n = 14

OR

add n to both sides of equation and add 3 to both sides of equation:

11 - n + n + 3 = -3 + n + 3 ----> n = 14

Answer:

  • 3960 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The pentagon has been split into 5 congruent triangles.

<u>Each triangle has area of:</u>

  • 1/2*48*\sqrt{40.8^2 - (48/2)^2} = 24*\sqrt{1088.64} = 24*33 = 792 ft²

<u>The area of the room is:</u>

  • 792*5 = 3960 ft²

I need help i'm really stuck
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area is 32 and the formula for area of a triangle is base * height / 2, and you have base = 8 and height = x and area = 32, this would be:

8 * x / 2 = 32

Now, solve:

8x/2=32\\4x=32\\x=8
