Island A is 160 miles from island B. A ship captain travels 220 miles from island A and then finds that he is off course and 200

miles from island B. What bearing should he turn to, so he is heading straight towards island B?

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°

Could someone help with the questions in the images below? I found them difficult

Question 1a - You have got this correct, the median mark is 35
Question 1b- To work out the range, you must do the largest value subtract the smallest value. For your data, this would be 57 - 13 = 44

Question 2 - You have drawn the lines in the correct places, but you have not used a ruler. In order to get full marks on a question like this you must use a ruler.

Question 3 - Your lower quartile and median is correct, to find the upper quartile, we do 3(n/4). 'n' is the number of data points - in this case 120.
120/4 = 30
30 x 3 = 90
Go across the graph at 90 to see when the line is hit.
From what I can tell, the Upper Quartile is 3.

Next just find the maximum value.
Again, by the looks of it, the Maximum value is 8.5.

Now you have all the data needed for the box plot.

Min = 0
LQ = 0.8
Med = 2.1
UQ =  3
Max = 8.5

Using this information, draw a box plot like you did on the previous question.
<em>Again, I must stress that any line that you draw (unless purposely curved) must be drawn with a ruler; even on the graph at the top, during you working out. If you do not use a ruler, marks can be lost/taken away.</em>

Question 4a - For the median on a cumulative frequency chart, you must find the halfway point in the data. For this, we do n/2. In this case, n = 40
40/2 = 20
Draw a line (using  ruler) across at 20 until you reach the line.
Draw another one down to help you read the number.
The median looks like 34 seconds.
Question 4b - For this question, we already know the Min, Med and Max. Now we must work out the LQ and UQ.

Remember, LQ = n/4
In this case, n = 40
40/4 = 10
Look across at ten and you will find that the LQ = 16 seconds

To work out the UQ, we multiply the LQ place by 3 3(n/4).
3 x 10 = 30
30 on the graph takes us up to 45 seconds.

We now know that the:
Min = 9
LQ = 16
Med = 34
UQ = 45
Max = 57

With this information, draw a box plot like you have in the previous questions.

Question 5 - Good things to always compare on box plots are the Min/Max/Range and the Inter Quartile Range.
The boys had a lowest minimum and a higher maximum, this means that their range is larger, resulting in a large spread of data in comparison to the girls.
The Inter Quartile Range is the difference between the Upper Quartile and the Lower Quartile (how wide the box is).
The boy IQR = 45 - 16 = 29
The girls IQR = 34 - 23 = 11
Again, the girls have much more concise results; even though they did not get the quickest result, they were more like one another.

Question 5a - The median in a box plot is always the line down the centre of the box. In this case:
Median = 24 marks
Question 5b - The IQR is always the UQ - LQ
With this data, the IQR is the following:
36 - 17 = 19 marks

Hope this helps

kari74 [83]
Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. So, 81+x^2=1681. ( Pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2). x^2=1600. x=40.

The perimeter of a rhombus is 560 meters and one of its diagonals has a length of 76 meters. Find the area of the rhombus.
borishaifa [10]
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths of a shape. <span> A </span>diagonal is a line segment joining two vertices of a polygon or polyhedron <span>when those vertices are not on the same edge. We calculate as follows:

Perimeter = 4a
560 = 4a
a = 140 meters

</span>A=(1/2)d√(4a^2 - d^2)
A = 10240.56 m^2

Complete the square for 3x^2-12x=9
larisa [96]

Answer:

The solutions are -0.65 and 4.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 - 12x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x^2 - 4x = 3

To make a square with "x^2 - 4x", you need to have a "+ 4" after it so it can be simplified as (x-2)^2.  So add 4 to both sides.

x^2 - 4x + 4 = 7

(x-2)^2 = 7

x - 2 = (square root) of 7

x = 2 (+/-) (square root) of 7.

x = {-0.65, 4.65}

The solutions are -0.65 and 4.65.

hope this helps:)sorry if it doesnt
