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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the second one is correct. the first one is wrong because shape C also has those angles. the third one is wrong because shape C also has no perpendicular sides. the fourth one is wrong because shape C also has 2 pairs of angles with the same measure.

If alvin sold 60% of his baseball cards, gave away 30% of those that were left, and still had 40 baseball cards in his possessio

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The number of baseball card to begin with is 143

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The number of baseball cards = x

The number of sold baseball card = 60% of x

= 0.6 x

The number of left baseball card = x - 0.6 x = 0.4 x

The number of card gave away = 30 % of left cards

= 0.3 × 0.4 x = 0.12 x

The number of card left in his possession = 40

So, 0.6 x + 0.12 x + 40 = x

Or, 40 = x - 0.6 x - 0.12 x

Or, 40 = 0.28 x

∴ x = $\frac{40}{0.28}$ = 142.85 ≈ 143

Hence The number of baseball card to begin with is 143 Answer

SOLVE FOR M. please :)

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$m = - 28$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 3}{7} m = 12$

$\frac{ - 7}{3} ( \frac{ - 3}{7})m = \frac{ - 7}{3} \times 12$

$\frac{ - 1}{3} ( - 3)m = \frac{ - 7}{3} \times 12$

$- 1( - 1)m = \frac{ - 7}{3} \times 12$

$1 \times m = \frac{ - 7}{3} \times 12$

$m = \frac{ - 7}{3} \times 12$

$m = \frac{ - 7}{3} \times 12$

$m = \frac{ - 7}{3} (3 \times 4)$

$m = - 28$
