Answer:

The ship S is at 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance of the ship to coastguard P be represented by x, and its distance to coastguard Q be represented by y.

But,

<P = 048°

<Q = 360^{o} - 324^{o}

     = 036^{o}

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180^{o}

<P + <Q + <S = 180^{o}

048° + 036^{o} + <S = 180^{o}

84^{o} + <S = 180^{o}

<S  = 180^{o} -  84^{o}

    = 96^{o}

<S = 96^{o}

Applying the Sine rule,

\frac{y}{Sin P} = \frac{x}{Sin Q} = \frac{z}{Sin S}

\frac{y}{Sin P} = \frac{z}{Sin S}

\frac{y}{Sin 48^{o} } = \frac{17}{Sin 96^{o} }

\frac{y}{0.74314} = \frac{17}{0.99452}

⇒ y = \frac{12.63338}{0.99452}

       = 12.703

y = 12.70 km

\frac{x}{Sin Q} = \frac{z}{Sin S}

\frac{x}{Sin 36^{o} } = \frac{17}{Sin 96^{o} }

\frac{x}{0.58779} = \frac{17}{0.99452}

⇒ x = \frac{9.992430}{0.99452}

      = 10.0475

x = 10.05 km

Thus,

the ship S is at a distance of 10.05 km to coastguard P, and 12.70 km to coastguard Q.

M=2*2*3*5*5 and N=2*2*2*3*3*7 find the largest number that divides exactly M and N​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

M=2*2*3*5*5=300

N=2*2*2*3*3*7=504

Common factors between the two numbers are 2 and 3

The GCF(greatest common factor):

2×3 = 6

To see if it is true:

300/6 = 50

504/6 = 84

6 is the answer to the question.

IOr — 5г + 3r — 8г i need help
Anni [7]

Answer:

0r

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they all have r you can pretend it s not there and add it on at the end.

Now 10 - 5 is 5. 5 + 3 is 8. 8 - 8 is 0. tack the r onto the end and you get 0r.
