Two ships set sail in different directions from the same place. Tyler's ship sail 35 miles while Noah's ship sails for 42 miles.

At the same time they are 56 miles apart. What was the angle between their paths when they started?

Answer:

<em>The angle between their paths when they started is 93°.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Law of Cosines</u>

It relates the length of the sides of a triangle with one of its internal angles.

Let a,b, and c be the length of the sides of a given triangle, and x the included angle between sides a and b, then the following relation applies:

c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos x

When the two ships travel in different directions from the same point in the plane, they form an angle we called x in the image below.

Tyler's ship sails a=35 miles and Noah's ship sails for b=42 miles. At some time they are c=56 miles apart.

Since we know the values of all three side lengths, we solve the equation for x:

\displaystyle \cos x=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}

Substituting values:

\displaystyle \cos x=\frac{35^2+42^2-56^2}{2(35)(42)}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \cos x=-\frac{147}{2940}=-\frac{1}{20}

Computing the inverse cosine:

x = \arccos(-0.05)

x \approx 93^\circ

The angle between their paths when they started is 93°.

Is the system of equations consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent?
ollegr [7]

Answer: Consistent and independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system of equations:

y = 4x - 4

y = -4x + 4.

Now, first let's define the terms used in the question.

consistent and independent: we have only one solution.

consistent and dependent: we have infinite solutions.

inconsistent: we do not have solutions.

Now, let's look at the system:

y = 4x - 4

y = -4x + 4.

Let's take the quotient between both the equations:

(y/y) = (4x - 4)/(-4x + 4)

1 = (4x - 4)/(-4x + 4)

let's see if we can solve this for x.

1*(-4x + 4) = 4x - 4

-4*x + 4 = 4x - 4

-4x - 4x = -4 - 4

-8*x = -8

x = -8/-8 = 1.

and to find the value of y, we can input this value of x in one of the equations:

y = 4*1 - 4 = 0.

Then we have only one solution, (1, 0).

(and will be the same if you input x in the other equation, as the right side is minus the right side of the first equation)

Then the system is consistent and independent.

The shoe store expected to sell at least 95 pairs of shoes one weekend, but they only sold 77 pairs. What was the approximate pe
Gwar [14]
The error of percentage is the amount of error over the original amount.

In this case it is 22/95  (not 22 over 77 because 77 is not the original amount they expected to sell.   

22/95 = .2315  or 23.2% to the nearest tenth of a percent
Perhaps your teacher just wants 23% as an the approximate error.
