Answer:
47.0
Step-by-step explanation:
In this right angle triangle, we are faced with a challenge of two sides. The opposite side and the adjacent side, hence the tangent is used.
Where it is the opposite side and hypothenus side, the sine is used and when it is the hypothenus side and adjacent side, the cosine is used.
Hence, we have tan62°=x/25
We cross multiply, to have
25(tan 62°)= x
x = 47.01816
In rounding up numbers, number 1 to 4 will be rounded up to zero, while numbers 5 to 9 will be rounded up to 1.
Rounding up 47.01816 to the nearest tenth. The tenth value is the figure is 0, before it we have 1, which is to hundredth. 1 will be rounded up to zero.
So we have 47.0
Let’s say it takes time t hours for the interception.
In that time the carrier travels 28t nm west and the helicopter 130t nm.
Now we use the sine rule to find the angle x which lies between the distance 175 and 130t.
sin(x)/28t=sin35/130t. So sin(x)=28sin35/130=14sin35/65=0.1235 and x=7.0964 degrees.
Therefore the helicopter should use a bearing of 35+7.0964=42.0964 degrees north of east or 47.9 degrees east of north approx.
Answer:
P = 61 - 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
According to a recent survey, in 2000, 61% of households had one or more pets. Throughout the next decade, this decreased by approximately 4% per year.
Therefore, if P represents the percentage of households having pets and x is the number of years after 2000, the expression for P as a function of x will be
P = 61 - 4x (Answer)
The variable x always equals 1
