Answer:

  about 2.81 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be useful to draw a diagram.

The lines pointing to due north from points B and P are parallel, so the angle BCP and the bearing of point C from P are the same, 30°. The angle BPC will be the difference of bearings of B and C at P, so is 47-30=17°. This is enough information to solve the triangle using the Law of Sines:

  PB/sin(C) = CB/sin(P)

  CB = PB·sin(P)/sin(C) = (1200 m)·sin(17°)/sin(30°) ≈ 701.7 m

The speed of the boat is then ...

  x = distance/time = (0.7017 km)/(1/4 h) = 2.8068 km/h

The average speed of a car during 5 hours is 50 miles per hour. What is the total distance traveled by the car?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

250 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the time (t) equals 5 hours and that the rate (r) equals 50 mph. So knowing that, we can use the formula t*r=distance. We plug in the numbers and we get 250 miles.

Another way to think about this is, since we go 5 hours and 50 miles per hour, every hour we go 50 miles and we do that for 5 hours, so we go 50, 100, 150, 200, 250.
