Every day going to school, June has to go by boat (point A) over a 217m-wide river to point B (the other bank), and then from B

walk to school at point D with distance AD ​​= 170m. In fact, due to the flowing water, the boat was pushed by the water at an angle of 50 degrees and brought her to point C (the other shore). From C, June walk to school. Calculate the distance June traveled from A to D. (result rounded to the third decimal place)​

Answer:

  • 647m

Explanation:

The distance traveled by June, from A to D, is the sum of the distance from A to C plus the distance from C to D:

  • Travel from A to D = Distance AC + Distance DC.

<u>1) Find the distance AC</u>

  • Triangle ABC is a right triangle, from which you have to calculate the hypotenuse (AC), knowing angle A (50º), and its adjacent leg (217 m).
  • cos (50º) = 217m / AC
  • AC = 217m / cos (50º) = 337.59m

<u>2) Find the distance DC</u>

First, you need to calculate the side BC which is a common side of both triangles ABC and DBC.

You can use Pythagora's or a trigonometric function (tangent or sine).

  • tan (50º) = BC / 217 m ⇒ BC = 217 m × tan (50º) = 258.61 m

Now you can use Pythagora's theorem to find the distance DC, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle DBC:

  • DC² = (170m)² + (258.62)² = 95,779.41m²
  • DC = 309.48m

<u>3) Find the total distance traveled from A to D</u>

  • Travel from A to D = Distance AC + Distance DC = 337.59m + 309.48m = 647.07 m ≈ 647m.

The graph shows the solution for which inequalities?
Helen [10]

Answer:

Inequalities are,

y ≥ 4x + 2

y ≥ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solid yellow line of the graph attached passes through two points (0, -2) and (1, 2).

Let the equation of this line is,

y = mx + b

Slope of the line = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

                      m = \frac{2+2}{1-0}

                      m = 4

Y-intercept 'b' = -2

Equation of the line will be,

y = 4x - 2

Since shaded area is on the left side of this solid line so the inequality representing this region will be,

y ≥ 4x - 2

Another line is a solid blue line parallel to the x-axis.

Shaded region (blue) above the line will be represented by,

y ≥ 2

Therefore, the common shaded area of these inequalities will be the solution of the given inequalities.

The archway to the entrance of an art gallery can be model by y= -1/3(x-5)(x+5) where x and y are measured in feet. The x-axis r
NikAS [45]

Answer:

x=5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At floor level y=0

If the expression is:

0=1/3(x-5)(x+5)\\0=1/3(x^2-25)\\0=1/3x^2-25/3\\25/3=1/3x^2\\25=x^2\\x=5

But, with the negative sign, the answer is x= 5i (where i is imaginary)

How many min is one mile
olga55 [171]

"Minute" is a unit of time, whereas "mile" is a unit of length or distance. 
They have different physical dimensions, they measure different quantities,
and they can't be converted one to the other.

If distance could be converted to time, then it would be possible for you ...
or a more mathematically capable acquaintance ... to calculate how many
minutes long your dog's tail is.

4.) Which best describes the relationship between &lt; AFB and &lt; AFD?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

C. Supplementary angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<AFB = 72

Required

Relationship of <AFB and <AFD

<AFB and <AFD are on a straight line and angle on a straight line is 180

From the presentation of both angles,

<AFB + <AFD = 180

Substitute 72 for <AFB

72 + <AFD = 180

Make <AFB the subject of formula

<AFD = 180 - 72

<AFD = 108

Since both <AFB and <AFD sums to 180, then they are supplementary angles.

Hence, the relationship between both angles is supplementary angles
