Answer:

The distance between B and lighthouse is 3.8688 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The angle made from ship to lighthouse is 36.5 degrees

and that of point B is 73 degrees.

To Find:

Distance  Between Point B and Lighthouse

Solution:

<em>Consider a triangle LAB(Refer the attachment )</em>

And Point C is on the line AB as A i.e. ship is sailing to B

So C is at 5 km from A.

Now In triangle LAC,

Using Trigonometry Functions as ,

tan(36.5)=LC/AC

LC=tan(36.5)*AC

=0.7399*5

=3.6998 km

Now In triangle LBC,

As,

Sin(73)=LC/LB

LB=LC/(Sin(73))

=3.6998/0.9563

=3.8688 km

LB=3.8688 km

Dori and Malory are tracking their steps taken as a health goal. Dori leaves her house at 12:00 p.m. and walks at 50 steps per m
docker41 [41]

Hi There!


Dori leaves her house at 12pm.

50 steps per minute until 12:20pm.

Dori has a 20 minute advantage over Malory, find the amount of steps she is ahead by,

12 - 12:20pm. steps = 20 minutes = 20 x 50 = 1000 steps


Malory leaves her house at 12:20pm.

Walks 90 steps per minute.

12:20 -  12:30 pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900


Dori 12:20 - 12:30pm. = 10 minutes = 10 x 50 = 500

500 + 1000 = 1500


Mallory 12:30 - 12:40 = 10 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900

900 + 900 = 1800


Dori 12:30 - 12:45pm. = 15 minutes = 15 x 50 = 500

1750 + 500 = 2250


Mallory 12:40 - 12:45pm. = 5 minutes = 10 x 90 = 900

450 + 1800 = 2250


Answer: they have the same number steps at 12:45 p.m.


Hope This Helps :)

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (-2,3) and (4,-12)
posledela

Answer:

m = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for slope with the following equation:

<em>m </em>(slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(4 , -12) = (x₁ , y₁)

(-2 , 3) = (x₂ , y₂)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

<em>m </em>= (3 - (-12))/(-2 - 4)

<em>m</em> = (3 + 12)/(-2 - 4)

<em>m </em>= (15)/(-6)

Simplify the slope:

<em>m</em> = -(15/6) = -5/2

-5/2 is your slope.
