Answer:

5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the distances walked by Maria;

  • 3 km west and 4 km south

We are required to determine the displacement from her starting point;

  • We are going to use Pythagoras's theorem;

a² + b² = c²

Taking, the distances towards south and towards west as the legs of the triangle;

Then, c² = 3² + 4²

               = 25

         c  = √25

            = 5 km

Therefore, the displacement from the starting point is 5 km

fomenos

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

JKL= ABC,  jkl=abc

1.) use law of sines to find k.

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} -2abCosC    

c=\sqrt{920^{2} +860^{2} -2(920)(860)cos(126) } = 1586.225515

2.) use law of cosines to find L

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

plug in for b and c:  \frac{860}{sinB} =\frac{1586.225515}{sin126}

cross multiply: \frac{1586.23sinB}{1586.23} =\frac{860sin126}{1586.23}

sinB= 0.4386227612\\B=sin^-1(0.4386227612)= 26.01604086\\

L=26

What word describes the equal shares of a shape
Sloan [31]
The word will depend on how many equal shares there are. For example, if there are two equal shares, you can say "halves"; if there are three equal shares, you can say "thirds"; if there are four equal shares, you can say "quarters," etc.
