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.

4-21. Kelso's mom wants to put a floating blanket over the family's circular wading pool to keep the heat in and the leaves out.
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a. 78.6 square feet

b. $7.86

Step-by-step explanation:

a. This simply asks us to calculate the area of the 10 feet diameter pool

Formula for area of circle is ;

pi * r^2 = pi * d^2/4

so Area = 22/7 * 10^2/4 = 78.60 square feet

b. This will be the area of the blanket multiplied by the price per square foot of the blanket

Mathematically, we have that as;

78.60 * 0.1 = $7.86

One of the main contaminants of a nuclear accident, such as that at Chernobyl, is strontium-90, which decays exponentially at a
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: P=0.975^t


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general form of the exponential decay formula is


y=A(1-r)^t, where y is final amount remaining after t time, A is the original amount and r is the rate of decay


Now, the ratio of strontium-90 remaining, p , as a function of years, t , since the nuclear accident. P=\frac{A(1-0.02)^t}{A}=\frac{(0.975)^t}{1}

Hence, the ratio of remaining since the nuclear accident is P=0.975^t

What's three equivalent ratios for 6/9
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Three equivalents ratios for 6/9 could be 2/3, 12/18 and 18/27

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalent ratio refers to the same number but written differently. For example, for the ratio 6/9, we could obtain the following equivalent ratios.

First equivalent ratio

You can divide the numerator and denominator by 3. You get 2/3

\frac{6\div 3}{9\div 3}=\frac{2}{3}

Second equivalent ratio

You can multiply the numerator and denominator by 2. You get 12/18

\frac{6\times 2}{9\times 2}=\frac{12}{18}

Third equivalent ratio

You can multiply the numerator and denominator by 3. You get 18/27

\frac{6\times 3}{9\times 3}=\frac{18}{27}

Thus, three equivalents ratios for 6/9 could be 2/3, 12/18 and 18/27
