One full revolution (2π radians) is made in 60 minutes. In 40 minutes, the hand moves through an angle θ of (40/60)(2π) = 4π/3 radians. The length of the arc is ...

s = rθ = (3 in)(4π/3) = 4π in ≈ 12.57 in

Two ships leave the same port in different directions, forming a 120° angle between them. One ship travels 70 mi. and the other

kondaur [170]

Answer : Distance between the ships to the nearest miles = 106.03 ≈ 106 mi.

Explanation :

Since we have shown in the figure below :

a=70 mi.

b=52 mi.

c=x mi.

$\text{Since two ships leaves the same port in different directions forming a }120\textdegree\text{angle between them.}$

So, we use the cosine rule , which states that

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab.cosC\\\\x^2=70^2+52^2-2\times 70\times 52\times cos(120\textdegree)\\\\x^2=4900+2704-7280\times (-0.5)\\\\x^2=7604+3640\\\\x^2=11244\\\\x=\sqrt{11244}\\\\x=106.03$

So, c = x= 106.03 mi.

Hence, distance between the ships to the nearest miles = 106.03 ≈ 106 mi.
