Answer:
156.37°
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this above question, using Cosine rule which is given as:
Cos C = a² + b² - c²/2ab
Let the Angle be represented as: x
Cos x = 310² + 200² - 150²/2 × 310 × 200
x = arc cos [ 310² + 200² - 150²/2 × 310 × 200]
x = 23.63°
The angle, in degrees, that he must turn through to head straight for Island B is given as:
180° - 23.63°
= 156.37°
-2 | 8-x| - 6 = -12...add 6 to both sides
-2 |8-x| = -12 + 6
-2 |8-x| = - 6...divide both sides by -2
|8-x| = -6/-2
|8-x| = 3
8 - x = -3 -(8 - x) = -3
-x = -3-8 -8 + x = -3
-x = -11 x = -3 + 8
x = 11 x = 5
