This is adding two vectors, one magnitude 300 direction east, and one magnitude 100 direction 30 degrees northeast.
For the resulting sum we can use the Law of Cosines or just add up the components. Let's try it both ways.
Components first. In the east direction we have
300 + 100 cos 30° = 300 + 100(√3/2) = 386.60 miles per hour
In the north direction we have
0 + 100 sin 30° = 100 (1/2) = 50 miles per hour
So a total speed of
sqrt{386.6^2 + 50^2} = 389.82 miles per hour
Answer: 389.82
--------
OK let's try the Law of Cosines. We have sides 300 and 100 and included angle 150°.
Answer: 15 and one-half
Step-by-step explanation:
14/2 + 3(4) - (6.5 - 3)
Use PEMDAS
14/2 + 3(4) - 3.5
Use PEMDAS
7 + 12 - 3.5
Use PEMDAS
15.5
What you would do is you would substitute each ordered pair into their respective variables. (ie. for (0,1) you would put 0 where the x is and 1 where the y is) You would then solve the equation. If the equation is not even (ie. 2=5 would not be even but 4=4 would be), you move on to the next ordered pair.
If you follow the process right and you get the equations correct, the answer should be B. (7,-2)
8 1/3% would be equal to 25/4%
The reasons would be:
alternate interior angles
vertical angles
AAA (all angles are congruent)
Since we know that the two line segments are parallel, this means that BC is a transversal. Using that knowledge with the position of ABE and DCE, we see these are alternate interior angles.
AEB and DEC are vertical angles, since they share only a vertex.
This gives us 3 congruent angles, so the triangles must be similar.
