A ship sails 250km due North qnd then 150km on a bearing of 075°.1)How far North is the ship now? 2)How far East is the ship now

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

1) 288.8 km due North

2) 144.9 km due East

3) 323.1 km

4) 207°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Bearing</u>: The angle (in degrees) measured clockwise from north.

<u>Trigonometric ratios</u>

$\sf \sin(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}\quad\cos(\theta)=\dfrac{A}{H}\quad\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}$

where:

$\theta$ is the angle
O is the side opposite the angle
A is the side adjacent the angle
H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

<u>Cosine rule</u>

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab \cos C$

where a, b and c are the sides and C is the angle opposite side c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draw a diagram using the given information (see attached).

Create a right triangle (blue on attached diagram).

This right triangle can be used to calculate the additional vertical and horizontal distance the ship sailed after sailing north for 250 km.

<u>Question 1</u>

To find how far North the ship is now, find the measure of the short leg of the right triangle (labelled y on the attached diagram):

$\implies \sf \cos(75^{\circ})=\dfrac{y}{150}$

$\implies \sf y=150\cos(75^{\circ})$

$\implies \sf y=38.92285677$

Then add it to the first portion of the journey:

⇒ 250 + 38.92285677... = 288.8 km

Therefore, the ship is now 288.8 km due North.

<u>Question 2</u>

To find how far East the ship is now, find the measure of the long leg of the right triangle (labelled x on the attached diagram):

$\implies \sf \sin(75^{\circ})=\dfrac{x}{150}$

$\implies \sf x=150\sin(75^{\circ})$

$\implies \sf x=144.8888739$

Therefore, the ship is now 144.9 km due East.

<u>Question 3</u>

To find how far the ship is from its starting point (labelled in red as d on the attached diagram), use the cosine rule:

$\sf \implies d^2=250^2+150^2-2(250)(150) \cos (180-75)$

$\implies \sf d=\sqrt{250^2+150^2-2(250)(150) \cos (180-75)}$

$\implies \sf d=323.1275729$

Therefore, the ship is 323.1 km from its starting point.

<u>Question 4</u>

To find the bearing that the ship is now from its original position, find the angle labelled green on the attached diagram.

Use the answers from part 1 and 2 to find the angle that needs to be added to 180°:

$\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{Total\:Eastern\:distance}{Total\:Northern\:distance}\right)$

$\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{150\sin(75^{\circ})}{250+150\cos(75^{\circ})}\right)$

$\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+26.64077...^{\circ}$

$\implies \sf Bearing=207^{\circ}$

Therefore, as bearings are usually given as a three-figure bearings, the bearing of the ship from its original position is 207°

Honestly I couldn't understand most of that but if one gallon of oil is needed to fry 6 potatoes, and he wants to fry 18 potatoes, then he'll end up using 3 gallons

What is the simplified form of the quantity 12 z-squared plus 25z plus 12 over the quantity 3 z-squared minus 2z minus 8 ?

Vinvika [58]

(12z^2 + 25z + 12)/(3z^2 - 2z - 8) You have to factor it. You know how to factor it right? (12z^2 + 16z + 9z + 12)/(3z^2 - 6z + 4z - 8) (4z(3z + 4) + 3(3z + 4))/(3z(z - 2) + 4(z - 2)) ((4z + 3)(3z + 4))/((3z + 4)(z - 2)) (4z + 3)/(z - 2)
