Answer:
Distance= 6.6 miles
Bearing= N 62.854°W
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's determine angle b first
Angle b=20° (alternate angles)
Using cosine rule
Let the distance between the liner and the port be x
X² =8.8²+2.4²-2(8.8)(2.4)cos20
X²= 77.44 + 5.76-(39.69)
X²= 43.51
X= √43.51
X= 6.596
X= 6.6 miles
Let's determine the angles within the triangle using sine rule
2.4/sin b = 6.6/sin20
(2.4*sin20)/6.6= sin b
0.1244 = sin b
7.146= b°
Angle c= 180-20-7.146
Angle c= 152.854°
For the bearing
110+7.146= 117.146
180-117.146= 62.854°
Bearing= N 62.854°W
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
c and d
Answer: the length of each of the two equal sides is 25 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of each of the two equal sides. This means that the total length of the two longer sides is 2x.
Let y represent the length of the third side.
The perimeter of a triangle is expressed as the sum of the length of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. It means that
2x + y = 65 - - - - - - - - - 1
Each of the equal sides is 10 centimeters longer than the third side. This means that
x = y + 10
Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes
2(y + 10) + y = 65
2y + 20 + y = 65
2y + y = 65 - 20
3y = 45
y = 45/3 = 15
Substituting y = 15 into x = y + 10, it becomes
x = 15 + 10 = 25
