A blue boat and a red boat are on the same side of a lake and are 18 miles apart. The blue boat is 30 miles from a lighthouse on

the opposite side of the lake. The angle formed by the boats and the lighthouse, and whose vertex is at the blue boat, measures 120°. Find the distance from the red boat to the lighthouse. What is the angle made from the lighthouse to the two boats?

Answer:

  • red boat distance: 42 miles
  • angle at lighthouse: 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Cosines can be used to find the distance from the red boat to the lighthouse.

  b² = l² +r² -2lr·cos(B)

  b² = 18² +30² +2·18·30·cos(120°) = 1764

  b = √1764 = 42

The distance from the red boat to the lighthouse is 42 miles.

__

The angle at the lighthouse can be found using the law of sines.

  sin(L)/l = sin(B)/b

  L = arcsin(l/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(18/42·sin(120°)) ≈ 21.79°

The angle between the boats measured at the lighthouse is about 22°.

What is the greatest common factor of 42a5b3, 35a3b4, and 42ab4?
tiny-mole [99]

For this case we have that by definition, the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest factor that 2 numbers have in common.

So, we have the following expressions:

42a ^ 5b ^ 3\\35a ^ 3b ^ 4\\42ab ^ 4

We look for the positive integers that divide to 35 and 42 without leaving residue:

42: 1,2,3,6,7,14,21

35: 1,5,7

Thus, the GCF of 42 and 35 is 7

Then, the GCF of the three expressions is:

7ab ^ 3

Answer:

7ab ^ 3
