Answer: 15.85km

Step-by-step explanation:

The car starts at the point (0,0)

Let's define east as the positive x-axis and north as the positive y-axis.

first, the car travels 10km southeast, so the angle is -45° from the east.

Then the new position of the car is:

(10km*cos(-45°), 10km*sin(-45°)) = (7.07km, -7.07km)

Now, from this point the car travels 15km with an angle of 60° (counting from the east)

So the new position is:

(7.07km + 15km*cos(60°), -7.07km + 15km*sin(60°)) = (14.57km  , 5.91km)

The magnitude of a vector (x, y) is √(x^2 + y^2)

So the magnitude of the vector (14.57km  , 5.91km) is:

√((14.57km)^2 + (5.91km)^2) = 15.85km

Solve the equation x/3-5=y for x
Annette [7]
X/3-5=y
add 5 to both sides
x/3=y+5
now multiply both sides by 3
x=3(y+5)
which means
x=3y+15

Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

22.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of it being a pyramid we must use the equation Bh1/2

B = L + W  we assume that the base is a perfect square meaning all sides are the same length B = 4.8 + 4.8 = 9.6 then we multiply by the height

9.6 x 4.6 = 44.16 next you divide by 2 or multiply by .5  

44.16/2 = 22.08 then finally rounding to the nearest tenth

making 22.1 cubic inches
