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°.

Area of a regular hexagon with an apothem of 15 cm
Anton [14]

Answer:

area = 779.4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

divide it into 6 equal equilateral triangles. Each corner of a triangle will be 60°.

tan 60° = 15/x

1.7321 = 15/x

x = 8.66 (this is one-half of the base of the triangle)

base = 17.32 cm

area of one triangle = 1/2(17.32)(15) = 129.9 cm²

129.9(6) = 779.4 cm²   (because 6 triangles make up the hexagon)

Researchers measured the percent body fat and the preferred amount of salt (percent weight/volume) for several children. Here ar
Anon25 [30]

Answer: b) τ = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Amount of salt (x)____% body fat(y)

0.2 _______________20

0.3 _______________30

0.4 _______________22

0.5 _______________30

0.7 _______________38

0.9 _______________23

1.1 ________________30

The correlation Coefficient as obtained from the online pearson correlation Coefficient calculator is 0.3281 = 0.3 (to one decimal place) which implies that a weak positive correlation or relationship exists between the preferred amount of salt taken to the percentage body weight of an individual. This is because the value is positive and closer to 0 than 1. The closer the weaker the degree of correlation. With positive values implying a positive relationship (that is an increase in variable A leads to a corresponding increase in B and vice-versa).

It is SAS because
1) it is given that sides are equal (AB=CD)
2)it is also given that angles B and C are equal
3) BC is a common side so it is equal in both triangles.

answer: SAS
