I found this!!!!
The scientist can use these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.
- The scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star (which would be the hypotenuse of the righ triangle).
Step-by-step explanation:
You can observe in the figure attached that "AC" is the distance between the Sun and the shooting star.
Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun "y" and the angle x°, the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.
This is:
cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
In this case:
\begin{gathered}\alpha=x\°\\\\adjacent=BC=y\\\\hypotenuse=AC\end{gathered}
α=x\°
adjacent=BC=y
hypotenuse=AC
Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}cosα=
hypotenuse
adjacent
, and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":
cos(x\°)=\frac{y}{AC}cos(x\°)=
AC
y
AC=\frac{y}{cos(x\°)}AC=
cos(x\°)
y
Answer:
The race must be up to 29 meters for Dhvan to win.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Shaan walks 2.5 meters per second, while his brother Dhvan walks 1 meter per second, and Dhvan wants to have a race, and Shaan knows that he walks faster, but he wants to give his brother a head start of 45 meters, so it doesn't seem that he is allowing him to win, to determine how many meters long should the race be in order for Dhvan to win the following calculation must be performed:
45 / (2.5 - 1) = X
45 / 1.5 = X
30 = X
Therefore, the race must be up to 29 meters for Dhvan to win.

Answer:</h2>
<u>Distance = 360.55 m</u>
<u>Direction = North-East</u>
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
In the question,
The adventurous dog starts from O, say.
He moves 3 blocks East = 300 m
then,
2 blocks North = 200 m
1 block East = 100 m
1 block North = 100 m
2 blocks West = 200 m
So,
Distance of the Dog's <u>final position</u> from the <u>initial position</u><u>.</u>
OE is given by,
In triangle OLE, using Pythagoras theorem,
<em><u>Therefore, the distance of Dog from the Home is 360.55 m and the direction of Dog from Home is North-East.</u></em>
Answer:
80-24=56
28 multiplied by 2=56
Step-by-step explanation:
(3 yard/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (1 mile / 1,760 yard) =
(3 x 3,600 / 1,760) (mile/hour) = 6.136... mph (rounded)
