The distance of the yacht from the ship is 35 km
<h3>How to determine the distance?</h3>See attachment for the diagram that represents the given parameters.
The distance of the yacht from the ship is then calculated using the following law of cosine.
YS^2 = ST^2 + YT^2 - 2 * ST * YT * cos(T)
This gives
YS^2 = 24^2 + 12^2 - 2 * 24 * 12 * cos(155)
Evaluate the exponents and the products
YS^2 = 576 + 144 + 522
Evaluate the sum
YS^2 = 1242
Take the square root of both sides
YS = 35
Hence, the distance of the yacht from the ship is 35 km

Answer:
His parents should invest $15,278.16 to reach this goal ⇒ 4th answer
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- Derrick will need $39,500 in 10 years for college tuition
∴ The future amount is $39,500
∴ The time for investment is 10 years
- P is the money his parents invest now at 9.5% annual interest,
compounded daily
∴ The rate is 9.5% per year compounded daily
- The formula of the compounded interest is:
, where
# A is the future value of money
# P is the value of investment
# r is the rate of interest in decimal
# t is the time of investment
# n is the period of the time
∵ A = $39,500
∵ t = 10
∵ r = 9.5/100 = 0.095
∵ n = 365 ⇒ compounded daily
- Lets use the formula above to find P
∴
∴
- Divide both sides by 2.58539
∴ P = $15278.16
∴ His parents should invest $15,278.16 to reach this goal
