A boy walks 6 km from a point P to a point Q on a bearing of 065. He then walks to a point R at a distance of 13 km on a bearing
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
- see below for a sketch
- 12 km
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance can be calculated using the Law of Cosines. The angle internal to the triangle at Q is (180°-(146° -65°)) = 99°. Then the distance PR can be found from ...
PR² = PQ² +QR² -2·PQ·QR·cos(∠PQR)
PR² = 6² +10² -2·6·10·cos(99°) ≈ 154.77
PR ≈ √154.77 ≈ 12.44 . . . . km
The distance PR is about 12 km.

Variance
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>The standard deviation is related to the variance. The standard deviation measures the variation or dispersion of a set of data and is represented by the Greek letter sigma , while the variance measures how far a set of numbers are spread out from their average value. The variance is obtained by squaring the standard deviation, so the variance can be found as
