Answer:

=135.53°

Step-by-step explanation:

The bearing that the captain should turn is the angle difference between the two islands from the position of the ship.

Let C be the position of the ship, then

AB is c=160

AC is b=220

BC is a=200

We use the cosine rule as follows:

c²=a²+b²-2ab Cos C

160²=200²+220²-2×200×220 Cos C

25600=88400-88000Cos C

88000 Cos C=88400-25600

88000Cos C=62800

Divide both sides by 88000.

Cos C=62800/88000

=0.7136

C=44.47°

He should turn (180°-44.47°)=135.53°

picture included , please help, which of the following equations describe the line shown below (1,10) and (-3,2) *check all that
rosijanka [135]
Slope is\text{m}=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}=\cfrac{10-2}{1-(-3)}
Then you use the equation
\text{y=mx+b}
Where b is the y-intercept. To find it, plug in x and y from one of the points. Say, point 1 (1,10):
10=m(1)+b
You know m (from above) and now you can solve for b.

Rearrange terms:
y-b=mx

And that will be the answer.

Make sense?
