A pilot flies on a bearing of 160° for 30 miles. The pilot then executes a quick turn and flies another 15 miles at a bearing of

205°. What bearing should the pilot use (to the nearest second) and how far must she travel(to the nearest of a mile) to make it back to her starting position?

Answer: 34.65 miles at an angle of 325.39°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, the initial position is (0,0)

Then she flies 30 miles at an angle of 160°, if we count the angle counterclokwise from the x-axis, the new position will be:

p = (30*cos(120°), 30*sin(120°))

Then she travels another 15 miles at an angle of 205°, the new position is:

p = (30*cos(120°) + 15*cos(205°), 30*sin(120°) + 15*sin(205°))

p = (-28.59 , 19.64)

If she now travles X miles at an angle Y, we must have that the final position is the point (0,0)

this means that:

X*cos(Y) = -(-28.59) = 28.59

X*sin(Y) = -19.64

Now, we can find the quotient between those two equations and use that tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

X*(sin(Y))/(X*cos(Y)) = -19.64/28.59

Tg(Y) = -0.69

Y = ATg(-0.69) = -34.61°

If we use only positive angles, this angle is equivalent to:

360° - 34.61° = 325.39°

now lets find the distance:

Xcos(325.39°) = 28.59

X = 28.59/cos(325.39°) = 34.65 miles.

An urn contains 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles. 1. One person takes two marbles at random from the urn and does not replace th
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A) The best way to picture this problem is with a probability tree, with two steps.

The first branch, the person can choose red or blue, being 2 out of five (2/5) the chances of picking a red marble and 3 out of 5 of picking a blue one.

The probabilities of the second pick depends on the first pick, because it only can choose of what it is left in the urn.

If the first pick was red marble, the probabilities of picking a red marble are 1 out of 4 (what is left of red marble out of the total marble left int the urn) and 3 out of 4 for the blue marble.

If the first pick was the blue marble, there is 2/4 of chances of picking red and 2/4 of picking blue.

B) So a person can have a red marble and a blue marble in two ways:

1) Picking the red first and the blue last

2) Picking the blue first and the red last

C) P(R&B) = 3/5 = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

C) P(R&B) = P(RB) + P(BR) = (2/5)*(3/4) + (3/5)*(2/4) = 3/10 + 3/10 = 3/5

I am just confused can someone help please...
prohojiy [21]
The answer is B

sin=Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin=28/100

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

sin=7/25


Cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse

cos=96/100

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

cos=24/25


Tangent=opposite/adjacent

tan=28/96

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

tan=7/24
