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°.

4/5 times blank equals 2/5 what is blind
Sholpan [36]
If you would like to solve the equation 4/5 * x = 2/5, you can calculate this using the following steps:

4/5 * x = 2/5     /*5
4 * x = 2           /4
x = 2/4
x = 1/2

The correct result would be 1/2.

A)$150 at 3 % interest for 2 years
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A)  159.135 = X

B) 2,531.25 = X

C)  6,187.5 = X

D) 831,947.46 = X

Step-by-step explanation:

The following investments are required to be calculated:

A) $ 150 at 3% interest for 2 years

B) $ 750.00 at 1/2% interest for 3 years

C) $ 2,250.00 at 1 3/4% interest for 1 year

D) $ 2,550.00 at 3 1/4 interest for 4 years

Therefore, the following calculations must be performed:

A)

150 x (1 + 0.03) ^ 2 = X

150 x 1.03 ^ 2 = X

159.135 = X

B)

750 x (1 + 0.5) ^ 3 = X

750 x 1.5 ^ 3 = X

2,531.25 = X

C)

2,250 x (1 + 1.75) = X

2,250 x 2.75 = X

6,187.5 = X

D)

2,550 x (1 + 3.25) ^ 4 = X

2,550 x 4.25 ^ 4 = X

831,947.46 = X
