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.

Another geometry question for transition math! Please help me!
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The measure of <TRU is 72 deg.

Step-by-step explanation:

<QRU is a right angle, so it measures 90 deg.

Since m<QRT = 18 deg, then m<TRU must be 72 deg since 72 + 18 = 90.

Answer: The measure of <TRU is 72 deg.

2/3 of the women at the party wear jewelry. 1/4 of the women wear a black dress. If there are 50 more women wearing jewelry than
Alinara [238K]

To solve this question, let's start by writing down what we know. First of all, let's make a variable, x, which will stand for the number of women at the party (because that's what we want to find). Using this variable, we know:

2/3x have jewelry

1/4x have a black dress

Half the people wearing a black dress also have jewelry, so we know that there is an overlap of 1/4x ÷ 2 = 1/8x between the jewelry and black dress.

To account for this overlap, we can subtract it from both sides. We get

2/3x - 1/8x = 13/24x

1/4x - 1/8x = 1/8x

We know that there are 50 more women with a black dress, so:

13/24x = 1/8x + 50

Simplifying, we get:

13/24x = 3/24x + 50

10/24x = 50

x = 50*24/10 = 120

That means that there were 120 women at the party.
