D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222  miles

Find the area of the shaded region.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

73.4 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is :

πr^2

Substitute the radius in:

π(5)^2

Solve:

Area of full circle = 25π

(Note : leave this answer in terms of 'pi' so it is easier to handle

Next, find the area of the sector

The equation for this is:

(angle/360) x πr^2

Substitute the values in:

(80/360) x π(5)^2

Solve :

Area of sector = (50/9)π

Now, find the area of the triangle:

1/2 absinC

Substitute the values in:

1/2(5)(5) x sin(80) = 12.31009691

Subtract this answer from the area of the sector

Answer = 5.14319607

Subtract this from the area of the whole circle

Answer = 73.39662073

To the nearest tenth, that would be 73.4 cm^2

Which expression is equivalent
RUDIKE [14]

Given expression is

\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{11}y^8}{81x^7y^6}}

Radical is fourth root

first we simplify the terms inside the radical

\frac{x^{11}}{x^7}=x^4

\frac{y^(8)}{y^6}=y^2

So the expression becomes

\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^4y^2}{81}}

Now we take fourth root

\sqrt[4]{16} = 2

\sqrt[4]{81} = 3

\sqrt[4]{x^4} = x

We cannot simplify fourth root (y^2)

After simplification , expression becomes

\frac{2x\sqrt[4]{y^2}}{3}

Answer is option B
