Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the base camp is point A and boats' locations after two hours are points B and C.
By connecting the three points together we get a triangle ABC with sides:
- AB = 50*2 = 100 km
- AC = 70*2 = 140 km
The angle between AB and AC is:
- 60 + 50 = 110 degrees (opposite directions from south)
We are looking for the distance BC, which can be found by using the law of cosines:
- BC² = AB² + AC² - 2AB*AC*cos ∠BAC
- BC² = 100² + 140² - 2*100*140*cos 110°
- BC² = 39176.56 (rounded)
- BC = √39176.56 = 197.93 km (rounded)
The distance between the boats is 197.93 km.
Answer:
A. 264
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to find the value of x. Then we can use that to find the required arc measure.
∠M = (1/2)(arc KN - arc LN)
60 = (1/2)((18x -6) -(5x +17)) = (1/2)(13x -23) . . . . substitute and simplify
120 = 13x -23 . . . . . . . multiply by 2
143 = 13x . . . . . . . . . . add 23
11 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 13
__
arc KNL = (arc KN) + (arc NL) = (18x -6) +(5x +17) = 23x +11
= 23·11 +11
arc KNL = 264 . . . . degrees
57 degrees because 180-123= 57 degrees
I'm going to assume you mean:
13 * (3/4) + x = 7 * (1/4)
Let's go ahead and simplify the right side.
7 * (1/4) = 1.75
So now we have:
13 * (3/4) + x = 1.75
Now let's take care of the right side. Multiplication before addition.
13 * (3/4) = 9.75
9.75 + x = 1.75
To isolate x, we subtract 9.75 from both sides.
9.75 - 9.75 + x = 1.75 - 9.75
x = -8
Hopefully I spaced this well. \('-')/
