Answer:

s for length of either equal side

b for the unequal side

b=-2+2*(s+s) and 2s+b=40

b=2*2s-2

b=4s-2

2s+4s-2=40

6s-2=40

6s=42

s=7

b=4*7-2

b=28-2

b=26

Initially a ship and a submarine are stationary at sea level, positioned 1.78km apart. The submarine then manoeuvres to position
poizon [28]
I’m assuming ‘dives further’ means to go directly down

the angle of elevation of the ship from the submarine is equal to the angle of depression of the submarine from the ship, if we assume the sea level is perpendicular to ‘directly down’.

let both of these angles to be = $ when the submarine is at A and ¥ when the submarine is at B (excuse the lack of easily accessible variables as keys)

then this become a simple trig problem:

A)

Let O be the position of of the ship, and C be the original position of the submarine.

therefore, not considering direction

|OC| = 1.78km = 1780m

|CA| = 45m

these are the adjacent and opposite sides of a right angled triangle.

But tan($) = opp/adj = |CA|/|OC| = 45/1780

therefore $ = arctan(45/1780) which is roughly 1.45 degrees,

B)

similarly, noting that |CB| = |CA| + |AB| = 45 + 62 = 107m


tan(¥) = 107/1780

¥ = arctan(107/1780) which is roughly 3.44 degrees

What is the slope of the line whose equation is -48 = 2x - 8y?<br> Enter your answer in the box.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The slope is \frac{2}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the general equation of a straight line y = mx+c

Here m is the slope of the line.

So let's get the equation of the line in the question in the same form.

-48 = 2x-8y

Add 8y to both sides: 8y - 48 = 2x

Add 48 to both sides: 8y = 2x + 48

Divide by 8 to get it into the general equation: y = \frac{2}{8} x + 6

Now compare it to the general equation to find the value of m. The value of m is the coefficient of x which we can see is \frac{2}{8}
