<h3>Answer:  roughly 12.6274 meters</h3>

The more accurate value is 12.6274169979696, though it's not fully exact.

Round this however you need to.

The exact distance 32*sin(45) - 10 meters.

===========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

I'll use point A in place of point O since the letter 'oh' is very similar looking to the number zero.

Plot point A at the origin (0,0). While at point A, look directly north. Then turn 30 degrees eastward to look at the bearing 030°. Next, move 20 meters along that bearing direction to arrive at point R. Segment AR is 20 meters long.

In the diagram, note how angle RAB is 30 degrees. The side opposite this is BR = m.

We can use the sine ratio to say that

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(A) = BR/AR

sin(30) = m/20

m = 20*sin(30)

m = 10

-----------------------------------

While still at point A, look directly north and turn 135 degrees clockwise (ie toward the east) and move 32 meters along that bearing. You'll arrive at point S as the diagram shows.

Notice how

angle RAB + angle RAC + angle CAS = 30+60+45 = 135

The remaining angle DAS is 180-135 = 45 degrees.

When focusing on triangle DAS, we can say

sin(A) = DS/AS

sin(45) = n/32

n = 32*sin(45)

n = 22.6274169979696

This value is approximate.

----------------------------------

Subtract the values of m and n

n - m = 32*sin(45) - 10 = exact distance

n - m = 22.6274169979696 - 10

n - m = 12.6274169979696

n - m = 12.6274 = approximate distance

Round it however you need to. I'm choosing to round to four decimal places.

So we see that point S is roughly 12.6274 meters east of point R.

If your teacher wants the exact distance, then stick with 32*sin(45)-10.

How to Graph of y=1/2x-4
Advocard [28]

Answer and explanation:

We know that this is in slope-intercept form. ( y = mx + b )

1/2 would be the slope (you would use this to graph the next point)

-4 would by your y-intercept (where the line crosses the x-axis)

With this information you could graph any point using the slope given, starting at -4 (x-axis) going down or up.

78 : 120 :: ? : 66<br>please give answer with explanation<br>​
yawa3891 [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Method</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>:</u>

Given that:

78 : 120 :: ? : 66

Here,

Product of extremes = 78 and 66

Product of means = 120 and ?

so,

(78*66) = (120 * ?)

⇛5148 = 120 * ?

⇛5148 = 120?

⇛120? = 5148

Shift the number 120 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign.

⇛? = 5148/120

Therefore, (?) = 42.9

<u>Method</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>:</u>

78 : 120 :: ? : 66

Convert each ratio into fraction.

⇛78/120 = ?/66

On applying cross multiplication then

since, (a/b) = (c/d) ⇛cd = ad

Where, a = 78, b = 120, c = ? and d = 66

Now,

⇛(120)? = (78)66

⇛120? = 5148

⇛(?) = 5148/120

Therefore, (?) = 42.9

<u>Ans</u><u>w</u><u>er:</u> Hence the value of (?) for the given problem is 42.9.

<u>Verification</u><u>:</u>

Check whether the value of (?) is true or false.

78 : 120 :: ? : 66

Substitute the value of (?).

⇛78:120 = 42.9:66

Product of extremes should be equal to product of means.

Product of extremes:- 78*66 = 5148

Product of means:- 120*42.9 = 5148

⇛5148 = 5148

LHS = RHS

Hence, verified.

The function that represents bruce’s elevation in feet over time in hours is an exponential function that starts at 1,505 feet.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

<h3>The function for Bruce’s elevation is f(x)=1505(6)^x and because b=6 that is greater than 0, it is an exponential growth function.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given initial Bruce’s elevation = 1,505 feet.

Each successive hour, his average elevation change for the hike becomes 6 times the previous hourly elevation change.

We know, the exponential function f(x)=a(b)^x, where a is the initial value, b is the growth factor and x is the exponent represents time in hours.

Therefore, initial value a=1505, growth factor b for exponential function f(x)=a(b)^x is 6.

Plugging a=1505 and b=6 in f(x)=a(b)^x , we get

f(x)=1505(6)^x

Also note, if b>0, it would be an exponential growth function.

<h3>Therefore, the function for Bruce’s elevation is f(x)=1505(6)^x and because b=6 that is greater than 0, it is an exponential growth function.</h3>
