Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This requires some serious work before we even begin. First off, we will convert the km to meters:

32 km = .032 m

46 km = .046 m

And then we have to deal with the angle given as 40 degrees west of north. An angle 40 degrees west of north "starts" at the north end of the compass and moves towards the west (towards the left in a counterclockwise manner) 40 degrees. That means that the angle that is made with the negative x axis is a 50 degree angle. BUT the way angles are measured in standard form are from the positive x-axis, therefore:

40 degrees west of north = 50 degrees with the negative x axis = 130 degrees with the positive x axis. 130 is the angle measure we use. Phew! Now we're ready to start. Adding vectors requires us to use the x and y components of vectors in order to add them.

A_x=.032cos90.0 so

A_x=0 (the 90 degrees comes from "due north")

B_x=.046cos130 so

B_x=-.030 and if we add those to get the x component of the resultant vector, C:

C_x=-.030   And onto the y components:

A_y=.032sin90.0 so

A_y=.032

B_y=.046sin130 so

B_y=.035 and if we add those together to get the y component of the resultant vector, C:

C_y=.067  Note that since C_x is negative and C_y is positive, the resultant angle (the direction) will put us into QII.

We find the magnitude of C:

C_{mag}=\sqrt{(-.030)^2+(.067)^2}

We will round this after we take the square root to the thousandths place.

C_{mag}=.073m and now for the angle:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{.067}{-.030}) which gives us an angle measure of -67, but since we are in QII, we add 180 to that to get that, in sum:

The magnitude of the resultant vector is .073 m at 113°

Rewrite the standard form equation below into slope-intercept form.<br>x – 2y = 3
Gnom [1K]
X-2y = 3

-2y=3-x move the x over to the other side 

-y=3/2 -1/2x divide both sides by 2

y=1/2x - 3/2 divide both sides by -1

1) how many significant digits are there in the sum of 45.10 and 102.203?
Sergio039 [100]
Oi  :)

1) There are 3 significant digits
45.10+102.203= 147.303

2)
15 Mi/h  =  22 ft/s

3)
C= 72*m* \frac{3}{4} \\  \\ C= 72*81* \frac{3}{4} \\  \\ C= \frac{17496}{4}  \\  \\ C=4374

4)
There are 4 significant digitis. Leter C

What is the perimeter of a square with side length 2x-3
NeTakaya

Perimeter of a square: side length * 4, since squares have equal side lengths

Take 2x - 3 for the side length and plug it into the formula.

(2x - 3) * 4 can be rewritten as 4(2x - 3)

Distribute 4 inside the parentheses.

8x - 12 = perimeter of the square
