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°

What is the length of segment BC? A coordinate plane is shown. Point B is located at negative 3, negative 2, and point C is loca
Mrac [35]
The length of segment BC can be determined using the distance formula, wherein, d = sqrt[(X_2 - X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2]. The variable d represent the distance between the two points while X_1, Y_1 and X_2, Y_2 represent points 1 and 2, respectively. Plugging in the coordinates of the points B(-3,-2) and C(0,2) into the equation, we get the length of segment BC equal to 5.

vodka [1.7K]
A) 17/52
B) 15/26
C) 4/13

A) The probability of getting a club is 13/52; the probability of getting a 3 is 4/52; the probability of a club or 3 is

13/52+4/52 = 17/52

B) The probability of a red card is 26/52; the probability of a King is 4/52; the probability of a red card or King is 

26/52+4/52=30/52 = 15/26

C) The probability of a 9 is 4/52; the probability of a face card is 12/52; the probability of a 9 or a face card is 4/52+12/52 = 16/52 = 4/13
