A submarine travels 6.6 km due West from its base and then turns and travels due South for 3.9

Answer:

7.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The submarine's path from its base forms a right triangle when its final position is "connected" to the base. We know that the right triangle has legs of 6.6 km and 3.9 km, and we need to find the length of its hypotenuse. To do so, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}, where a and b are the lengths of the triangle's legs and c is the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. In this case, we know what a and b are, and we need to solve for c, so after substituting the given values of a and b into a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2} to solve for c, we get:

a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}

6.6^{2} +3.9^{2} =c^{2} (Substitute a=6.6 and b=3.9 into the equation)

43.56+15.21=c^{2} (Evaluate the squares on the LHS)

58.77=c^{2} (Simplify the LHS)

c^{2}=58.77 (Symmetric Property of Equality)

\sqrt{c^{2} } =\sqrt{58.77} (Take the square root of both sides of the equation)

c=7.7,c=-7.7 (Simplify)

c=-7.7 is an extraneous solution because you can't have negative distance, if that makes sense, so therefore, the submarine is approximately 7.7 km away from its base. Hope this helps!

For what value of a do the lines 5x–2y=3 and x+y=a intersect at a point on the y-axis?
inna [77]

Answer:

  a = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set x=0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept in each case.

  first equation: y-intercept = -3/2

  second equation: y-intercept = a

To make these equal, we must have ...

  a = -3/2

Can Someone plz help? Thx
Andreyy89

Answer:

7. 2355 m

8. 1570 km

9. 157 cm

10. 40.82 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is pi * diameter or 2 * pi * radius.

If you are given the diameter, just multiply it by pi, 3.14.

If you are given the radius, then multiply the radius by 2 and then by pi, 3.14.

7. d = 750 m

circumference = pi * d = 3.14 * 750 m = 2355 m

8. d = 500 km

circumference = pi * d = 3.14 * 500 km = 1570 km

9. r = 25 cm

circumference = 2(pi)r = 2 * 3.14 * 25 cm = 157 cm

10. r = 6.5 m

circumference = 2(pi)r = 2 * 3.14 * 6.5 m = 40.82 m

Answer: (12,0)


Steps:

First, put the equation in slope-intercept form.

y=mx+b

1.5x + 4.5y =18

Subtract 1.5x from both sides.

4.5y =-1.5x +18

Divide both sides by 4.5 to isolate y.

y = -1/3x + 4


Then replace y with 0 because the point for the x-intercept is exactly on the x-axis so the y=0.

0 = -1/3x + 4

Subtract 4 from both sides

-4 = -1/3x

Divide both sides by -1/3 to isolate the x

Convert the angle 0=14pi/9 radians to degree
Levart [38]

Answer:

280 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert radians to degrees we multiply by 180/pi:

angle O = 14pi/ 9 * 180 / pi

=  14*180 / 9

=  280 degrees.
