Answer:

  a) 8.7 km

  b) 187.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

Travel vectors (distance)∠(direction) ...

  • d₁ = 8∠3°
  • d₂ = unknown
  • d₃ = 1∠47°
  • total travel was a round trip

<u>Find</u>

(Rounded to the nearest tenth ...)

  a) |d₂|

  b) ∠d₂

<u>Solution</u>

In order for the sum of the three travel vectors to represent a round trip, their sum must be zero. That is, the value of d₂ must be the opposite of the sum of the other two vectors. A vector calculator can find the desired value easily. Here, we will show the calculation using the law of cosines and the law of sines.

__

a) A diagram can be helpful. Since we want to find the opposite of the sum of the given vectors, we can start by drawing their sum. In our diagram, d₁ is segment AB, and d₃ is segment BC. Their sum is the segment AC.

The internal angle ABC is the supplement of the difference of the angles for d₁ and d₃, so is 180° -(47° -3°) = 136°. Then the law of cosines gives length AC as ...

  AC² = AB² +BC² -2AB·BC·cos(B)

  AC² = 8² +1² -2·8·1·cos(136°) = 65 -16cos(136°) ≈ 76.5094

  AC ≈ √76.5094 ≈ 8.747

The distance traveled on day 2 is about 8.7 km.

__

b) Given the side lengths of a triangle and one angle, the law of sines can be used to find the other angles. Here, it is convenient to find the internal angle at A. The law of sines tells us ...

  sin(A)/BC = sin(B)/AC

  sin(A) = BC/AC·sin(B)

  A = arcsin(BC/AC·sin(B)) = arcsin(1/8.747·sin(136°)) ≈ 4.555°

The direction angle from C to A will be the sum of the 3° direction angle of AB and the internal triangle angle A we just found, added to 180°. That sum is ...

  ∠CA = 180° +3° +4.6° = 187.6°

  ∠d₂ = 187.6°

Which expression is equivalent to one over 3p + 15?
Doss [256]

we know that

the expression " one over (3p+15)"  is equivalent to

\frac{1}{(3p+15)} --------> expression A

and

 3p+15=3(p+5) --------> expression B

substitute the expression B in the expression A

\frac{1}{(3p+15)}=\frac{1}{3(p+5)} -----> one over three(p + 5)

therefore

<u>the answer is the option </u>

one over three(p + 5)

You are looking at a 260 foot by 180 foot building lot to subdivide and build two houses. Your town requires 1/2 acre (one acre
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

You have 1.07 acres in this building lot and you can only build 2 houses.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking at a 260 foot by 180 foot building lot to subdivide and build two houses.

We are given that 1 acre = 43,560 square feet.

In this building plot (260 foot by 180 foot), the area is:

260 * 180 = 46,800 square feet

Hence, the number of acres we have in this lot is:

\frac{46800}{43560} = 1.07

Since your town requires 1/2 acre to build a house, the number of houses that you can build on it will be:

\frac{1.07}{\frac{1}{2} } = 1.07 * 2 = 2.14

Since the number of houses can only be whole number, we approximate to nearest whole number ≅ 2 houses.

You have 1.07 acres in this building lot and you can only build 2 houses.
