Ship A and Ship B are 120 km apart when they pick up a distress call from another boat. Ship B estimates that they are 70 km awa

y from the distress call. They also notice that the angle between the line from ship B to ship A and the line from ship A to the distress call is 28°. What are the two possible distances, to the nearest TENTH of a km, from ship A to the boat?

Answer:

147.5 km and 64.4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

a=120  km

b=70  km

β=28 degrees ( ∘)

 

b^2=(a^2)+(c^2)−2ac*cosβ  

70^2 =(120^2 )+(c^2)−2⋅ 120⋅ c⋅ cos(28∘ )  

 (c^2 ) −211.907c+9500=0  

 

note p, q, and r are replacement variables in the Pythagorean theorem since a, b, and c are already in use

p=1;q=−211.907;r=9500  

D=(q^2 ) −4pr=(211.907^2 )−4⋅1⋅9500=6904.75561996  

D>0  

 

c_{1,2}  =   (−q±  \sqrt{D}   )/2p=(211.91±\sqrt{6904.76})/2

​c_{1,2}  =105.95371114±41.5474295834  

(c_{1}−147.501140726)(c_{2}−64.4062815596)=0

c_{1}=147.501140726  

c_{2}=64.4062815596

Help ASAP Geometry 20 points
Alja [10]

Answer:

(3, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a translation < 8, 0 > then

A(- 5, - 3 ) → (- 5 + 8, - 3 + 0 ) → (3, - 3 )

The line with equation y = 0 is the x- axis

Under a reflection in the x- axis

a point (x, y ) → (x, - y ), thus

(3, - 3 ) → (3, 3 )

We need to solve the speed formula for d. To do so, let's start by moving the number of the left hand side:


\frac{S}{356} = \sqrt{d}


Square both sides to get rid of the square root:


\frac{S^2}{126736} = d


Now plug the known value of the speed to find the distance:


d = \frac{140^2}{126736} = \frac{19600}{126736} \approx 0.15465


So the closest answer is the last one: d=0.155km
