Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is D. 14 + (10 – 6) • (8 – 3).
That's because in each of the other answers, we are subtracting a greater and greater number. But in this version, we are first completing the parenthesis, which gives us the following.
14 + (10 – 6) • (8 – 3)
14 + (4) • (5)
Now we complete the multiplication.
14 + 20
And we end with the addition.

We know that
Applying the law of cosines:
<span>c</span>²<span> = a</span>²<span> + b</span>²<span> - 2abcos(C) </span>
<span>where: </span>
<span>a,b and c are sides of the triangle and C is the angle opposite side c </span>
<span>that is </span>
<span>150</span>²<span> = 240</span>²<span> + 200</span>²<span> - 2(240)(200)cos(C) </span>
<span>solve for C </span>
<span>22,500 = 57,600 + 40,000 - 96,000cos(C) </span>
<span>22,500-57,600-40,000 = -96,000cos(C)
</span>-75,100=-96,000cos (C)
cos (C)=0.7822916
C=arc cos(0.7822916)--------> C=38.53°°
<span>hence, </span>
<span>he should turn in the direction of island b by
180 - 38.53 </span><span>= 141.47 degrees</span>
