Answer:

N58°W

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonometry diagram has been attached below :

To obtain the angle θ ;

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 40 / 25

Tan θ = 1.6

θ = tan^-1(1.6)

θ = 57.99°

Henve, bearing directly to Port is :

N58°W

Answer:

A = 14 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is found by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) *h where b is the length of the bases and h is the height

A = 1/2 (2+5) *4

A = 1/2(7)4

A = 14 m^2

Answer:

(a) h^-1(x) = (x+6)/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse relation can be found by solving for y: x = h(y).

<h3>Solution</h3>

x = h(y) . . . . . the inverse relation

x = 6y -6 . . . . . use the function definition

x +6 = 6y . . . . add 6

(x +6)/6 = y . . . . divide by 6

The inverse function is ...

$\boxed{h^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x+6}{6}}$

Ping lives at the corner of 3rd Street and 6th Avenue. Ari lives at the corner of 21st Street and 18th Avenue. There is a gym Tw

mr_godi [17]

Answer: (15th street, 14th Avenue)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Ping's residence = (3rd street, 6th Avenue)

Ari's residence = (21st street, 18th Avenue)

Gym location = 2/3 the distance of Ping's residence to Ari's residence

So, distance between Ping's home to Ari's home

Distance = (21st street, 18th Avenue) - (3rd street, 6th Avenue)

Distance = (21 - 3) street, (18 - 6) avenue

Distance between ping and Ari = (18th , 12th )

Gym distance = 2/3 of distance between ping and Ari

Gym distance = 2/3 × (18), 2/3 ×(12)

Gym distance = (12, 8)

Gym location = Ping's location + gym distance

Gym location = (3rd street, 6th Avenue) + (12th street, 8th Avenue)

Gym location = (15th street, 14th Avenue)
