A plane flies 545 kilometers with a bearing of 316° from Naples to Elgin (see figure). The plane then flies 680 kilometers from

Elgin to Canton (Canton is due west of Naples). Find the bearing of the flight from Elgin to Canton. (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

  • 235°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Use of low <em>of sines</em>
  • <em>Consider triangle CEN</em>
  • <em>Bearing of angle counted from zero to the vector of flight</em>

<u>We have </u>

  • ∠CNE = complementary with 44° ⇒ m∠CNE = 90° - 44° = 46°
  • NE = b = 545 km
  • EC = a = 680 km
  • ∠ECN = x

<u>Find the  measure of angle x:</u>

  • sin 46° / a = sin x / b
  • sin 46° / 680 = sin x / 545
  • sin x = 545 sin 46 deg / 680
  • x = arcsin (545 sin 46 deg / 680)
  • x = 35° (rounded)

<u>Bearing of the flight from Elgin to Canton is:</u>

  • 270° - 35° = 235° as the vector is in the third quadrant

Factor 65x^2+212x-133 completely
worty [1.4K]
65x^2 + 212x - 133
you have to use the quadratic formula 
x=( -b +/- √b²-4ac) / 2a
a is 65
b is 212
c is 133
because the first value is squared you will have 2 answers

MZJ and m M are base angles of isosceles trapezoid JKLM. If mZJ = 18x + 8 and m_M=11x + 15 find m2K.
maxonik [38]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

m∠J and m∠Kare base angles of an isosceles trapezoid JKLM.

If m∠J = 18x + 8, and m∠M = 11x + 15 , find m∠K.

A. 1

B. 154

C. 77

D. 26

Answer: B. m∠K = 154

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Isosceles</u> <u>trapezoid</u> is a parallelogram with two parallel sides, called Base, and two non-parallel sides that have the same measure.

Related to internal angles, angles of the base are equal and opposite angles are supplementary.

In trapezoid JKLM, m∠J and m∠M are base angles, so they are equal:

18x + 8 = 11x + 15

7x = 7

x = 1

Now, m∠K is opposite so, they are supplementary, which means their sum results in 180°:

m∠J = 18(1) + 8

m∠J = 26

m∠K + m∠J = 180

m∠K + 26 = 180

m∠K = 154

The angle m∠K is 154°

X + y = -1<br> X - y = 7
enyata [817]
1: Solve for either x or y in one of the equations. So x + y = -1 is y = -x -1
2: substitute the new equation in the opposite equation. So x - (-x - 1) = 7
3: distribute the negative. X + x + 1 = 7
4: combine like terms. 2x + 1 = 7
5: solve for x. Subtract 1 on both sides. 2x = 6
6: divide by 2 to get x by itself. X = 3
7: plug the new value of x into one of the ORIGINAL equations. 3 + y = -1
8: solve for y. Subtract 3 on both sides.
Y = -4
9: the solution is written as (x,y) so the solution would be (3, -4)
