an aircraft flies from its base 200 km on a bearing 162 degree, then 350km on a bearing 260 degree and then returns directly to

base. Calculate the length and bearing of the return journey

X=200cos(162+90)+350cos(260+90)

y=200sin(162+90)+350sin(260+90)

x≈282.88

y≈-250.99

So the length of the return trip is:

d^2=x^2+y^2

d^2≈143017.0745

d≈378.18

tanα=-250.99/282.88

α=arctan(-250.99/282.88)

α≈-41.58°  that's the standard angle relative to the positive x-axis...

We need to be going in the exact opposite direction when returning so...

180-41.58=138.42°  again this angle is standard notation.  To convert this to a bearing we need to subtract 90°...

So the bearing is 138.42-90=48.42°

So the return trip will be 378.18km on a bearing of 48.42°

(I have assumed that the bearing was relative to true north, or the positive y axis....)

Amy has $8 less than Maria.Together they have $30
gtnhenbr [62]
 a + m = 30
a = m - 8

(m - 8) + m = 30
2m - 8 = 30
2m = 30 + 8
2m = 38
m = 38/2
m = 19

a = m - 8
a = 19 - 8
a = 11

so Amy has $11 and Maria has $ 19

If x+y=8, y+z=7, and x+z=5, what is the value of x? What is the formula or strategy to approach this question?
joja [24]

The strategy is to work from a system with three variables and three equations down to something with two variables and two equations. In a two variable-two equation system, you can use either substitution or elimination.

First, let's organize the equations.

(1) x + y = 8

(2) y + z = 7

(3) x + z = 5

Now, we'll solve one of (1), (2), and (3) for a variable. The choice is yours, but we'll use equation (3) and solve it for x.

x + z = 5

x = 5 - z.

Now we put this into equation (1). Why (1)? It's the only one of (1) and (2) with x.

x + y = 8

5 - z + y = 8

-z + y = 3

y - z - 3 to rearrange it.

Now look at this new equation - call it (4) and the original (2).

(4) y - z = 3

(2) y + z = 7

This is a system of two equations and two variables. Either substitution or elimination works here - let's use elimination because of the -z and +z.

y - z = 3

y + z = 7

We add them together and we have that 2y = 10. Divide on both sides and y = 5. One variable down, two to go.

Now we go back to original equation (2). Substitute y = 5 to find z.

y + z = 7

5 + z = 7

z = 2.

Two down, one to go. Since we know z = 2, let's put it into (3) and find x. (Equation (1) with y = 5 works fine as well.)

x + z = 5

x + 2 = 5

x = 3

Thus x = 3, y = 5 and z = 2.

2. Mr. Abdulla has 160 cows, goats, horses, and chickens on his farm. 19% of the animals are cows, 28% are goats, 13% are horses
siniylev [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

28 + 19 + 13 equal 60%

therefore 40% divided by 60% multiply by 160 gives number of chicks
