Answer:

19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine rule :

$\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} ﹣2abcos(angle ) }$

c will always be the hypotenuse.

a and b can be any if the opposite or the adjacent.

${15}^{2} + 12^{2} - 2 \times 15 \times 12 \times \cos(90) = 369$

\sqrt{369}=19.20937...

Mice21 [21]

Given:

A plane flying a straight course observes a mountain at a bearing of 35° to the right of its course.

The distance between plan and mountain is 10 km.

A short time later, the bearing to the mountain becomes 45°.

Here NM is the distance between the plane from the mountain when the second bearing is taken.

We need to find the measure of NM.

$We\text{ know that }\angle INM\text{ and }\angle\text{XNM are supplementary angles.}$

The sum of the supplementary angles is 180 degrees.

$\angle INM+\angle XNM=180^o$ $\text{Substitute }\angle XNM=45^o\text{ in the equation.}$

$\angle INM+45^o=180^o$

$\angle INM=180^o-45^o$

$\angle INM=135^o$

We know that the sum of all three angles of the triangle is 180 degrees.

$\angle INM+\angle NIM+\angle INM=180^o$ $\text{Substitute }\angle INM=135^o\text{ and }\angle NIM=35^o\text{ in the equation.}$

$135^o+35^o+\angle INM=180^o$

$170^o+\angle INM=180^o$

$\angle INM=180^o-170^o$

$\angle INM=10^o$

Consider the sine law.

$\frac{\sin N}{IM}=\frac{\sin M}{IN}=\frac{\sin I}{NM}$

Take the equation to find the measure of NM.

$\frac{\sin N}{IM}=\frac{\sin I}{NM}$ $\text{Substitute }\angle N=135^o,\angle I=35^o,\text{ and IM=10 in the equation.}$

$\frac{\sin 135^o}{10}=\frac{\sin35^o}{NM}$

$NM=\frac{\sin 35^o}{\sin 135^o}\times10$ $NM=8.11$

Hence the measure of NM is 8.1 km.

The plane is 8.1 km far from the mountain when the second bearing is taken.

Hello,

tan C=AB/BC==>BC=tan 49° * 250=287,59210... (feet)

sin C=AB/AC==>AC=250/sin 49°=331,253248... (feet)

erik [133]

So to find this we divide 3 by 1/2 and get 6. So, she is now only at 1/6 of her original time.1/6 is equal to .1666, and to the nearest percent that would be 17%. hope this helps and its not too late!
