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

Find an equation of the plane through the point (−1,−5,−2)(−1,−5,−2) with normal vector n=⟨−5,−4,−1⟩n=⟨−5,−4,−1⟩.
Ostrovityanka [42]
Consider this option:
1. given: n(A;B;C)=n(-5;-4;-1) and A(-1;-5;-2)=A(x₀;y₀;z₀).
Common view of equation for a plane is Ax+By+Cz+D=0, where A,B,C,D - numbers.
2. from another side using coordinates of A and normal vector it is possible to make up the equation: A(x-x₀)+B(y-y₀)+C(z-z₀)=0 ⇒ -5(x+1)-4(y+5)-(z+2)=0; ⇒ -5x-4y-z-27=0 or 5x+4y+z+27=0.
