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
1 answer:
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....)

This states that a number divided by 3 is 21. the equation is: n/3 = 21
Answer:
the answer to the question is c
If we add the equations it looks like -5y + 8x + 5y + 2x = -18+58 so 10x=40 so x=40/10=4 now let's replace x by 4 in the second equation 5y +2*4=58 5y=58-2*4=58-8=50 so y=50/5=10 so (x, y) = (2, 10)
