Answer:

193.53 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,

Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees

The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees

Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.

We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.

In the diagram, this is the line AC.

Applying Law of Cosines:

b^2=a^2+c^2-2acCosB\\b^2=207^2+135^2-2(207)(135)Cos65^\circ\\b^2=37453.8654\\b=\sqrt{37453.8654} \\b=193.53\: miles

The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).

Answer:

44%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take that pretty figure and align it into complete rows.

It will make 2 full rows plus one block.

1 row is 20% since 100 / 5 blocks is 20.

That's 11 blocks.

11 / 25 = .44 or 44%
