The course for a boat race starts at point A and proceeds in the direction of S52'E for 1 hour at 8 knots to point B and then in

the direction S50°W for 1 hour at 4.5 knots to point C and finally back to A. Find the total distance of the race and find the compass bearing from point A to point to the nearest whole degree.

Answer:

20.823 nautical miles

S20°E

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean ° (degrees), not ' (minutes).  There are 60 minutes in 1 degree.

S52°E means "south, 52° east", or 52° east of south.

S50°W means "south, 50° west", or 50° west of south.

1 knots = 1 nautical mile / hour, so the boat first travels 8 nautical miles from A to B, then 4.5 nautical miles from B to C, then finally back to A.

If we say A is at the origin, then the coordinates of B are:

(8 sin 52°, -8 cos 52°)

And the coordinates of C are:

(8 sin 52° − 4.5 sin 50°, -8 cos 52° − 4.5 cos 50°)

(2.857, -7.818)

So the distance from A to C is:

x = √(2.857² + (-7.818)²)

x ≈ 8.323

And the total distance of the race is:

d = 8 + 4.5 + 8.323

d = 20.823

The compass bearing from A to C is:

θ = atan(2.857 / 7.818)

θ ≈ S20°E

Sue drank 2/5 of her water bottle and sally drank 4/10 of her water bottle how much water did both girls drank?

well, clearly the LCD from the denominators of 5 and 10 is just 10, thus

\bf \stackrel{\textit{Sue}}{\cfrac{2}{5}}+\stackrel{\textit{Sally}}{\cfrac{4}{10}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(2)2~~+~~(1)4}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2+4}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \stackrel{\textit{simplified}}{\cfrac{3}{5}}

Find the point-slope equation for the line that passes through the points (5,19) and (-5,-1).
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: y - 19 = 2(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form is expressed as

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Where

m represents slope

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The given points are (5,19) and (-5,-1)

y2 = - 1

y1 = 19

x2 = - 5

x1 = 5

Slope,m = (- 1 - 19)/(- 5 - 5) = - 20/- 10 = 2

To determine the equation, we would substitute x1 = 5, y1 = 19 and m= 2 into the point slope form equation. It becomes

y - 19 = 2(x - 5)

Felix used $20 off coupon on shoes already on sale for 50% off original price. Total before tax was $74.50. What was the origina
Mkey [24]

Answer:

$189.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the total cost of the shoes before tax, but after the sale price and coupon were applied, $74.50, first add back the $20 discount from the coupon:

74.50 + 20.00 = 94.50

Then, add the new amount by itself to find the original price since the sale applied a 50% discount:

94.50 + 94.50 = $189.00
