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.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

10.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle:

C = TTD

C = TT(6.6)

C = 20.73451151

C = 20.73

Triangle:

A = bh/2

A = 6.6(3.3)/2        6.6/2=3.3

A = 21.78/2

A = 10.89

Shaded Region = 10.89

1. 14 loaves are needed for 63 customers

2.  90 loaves

3. 4.5 loaf

Step by Step:

9/2= 4.5

4.5x4= 18

27/4.5=6

14x4.5=63

I multiplied and divided everything by 4.5 so one loaf of bread is 4.5.

(Correct me if I'm wrong)

I hope this helped! :)
