A surveyor leave her base camp and drive 42 km on a bearing of 032, she then drive 28km on a bearing of 154.How far is she then
from her base camp and what's her bearing from it
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is represented in the attached photo. Triangle ABC is formed. AB represents her distance from her base camp. We would determine BC by applying the law of Cosines which is expressed as
a² = b² + c² - 2abCosA
Where a,b and c are the length of each side of the triangle and B is the angle corresponding to b. It becomes
AB² = AC² + BC² - 2(AC × BC)CosC
AB² = 42² + 28² - 2(42 × 28)Cos58
AB² = 1764 + 784 - 2(1176Cos58)
AB² = 2548 - 1246.37 = 1301.63
AB = √1301.63
AB = 36.08 km
To find the bearing, we would determine angle B by applying sine rule
AB/SinC = AC/SinB
36.08/Sin58 = 42/SinB
Cross multiplying, it becomes
36.08SinB = 42Sin58
SinB = 42Sin58/36.08 = 0.987
B = Sin^-1(0.987)
B = 81°
Therefore, her bearing from the base camp is
360 - 81 = 279°

Answer:
Volume:
Ratio:
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we need to find the volume of the hemispherical tank.
The volume of a sphere is given by:
where
r is the radius of the sphere
V is the volume
Here, we have a hemispherical tank: a hemisphere is exactly a sphere cut in a half, so its volume is half that of the sphere:
Now we want to find the ratio between the volume of the hemisphere and its surface area.
The surface area of a sphere is
For a hemisphere, the area of the curved part of the surface is therefore half of this value, so . Moreover, we have to add the surface of the base, which is
. So the total surface area of the hemispherical tank is
Therefore, the ratio betwen the volume and the surface area of the hemisphere is
