Answer:

The distance between two ships to the nearest tenth place is, 24.1 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse side}^2 = \text{Adjacent side}^2 +\text{Perpendicular side}^2

As per the statement:

Two ships are near a buoy in the open ocean. One ship is 20 km due north of the buoy, and the other ship is 13.5 km due east of the buoy.

You can see the diagram for this problem as shown below.

Let x be the distance between the two ships.

Hypotenuse side = x km

Adjacent side = 13.5 km

Perpendicular side = 20 km

Apply the Pythagoras theorem:

x^2 = 13.5^2+30^2 = 182.25+400 = 582.25

⇒x = \sqrt{582.25}

Simplify:

x = 24.129857024 km

Therefore, the distance between two ships to the nearest tenth place is, 24.1 km

I am a fraction that is equal to 1/6 what am i?
jonny [76]
We can multiply both the numerator and denominator by ANY number (as long as you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number) to get an equivalent fraction

examples would be 2/12 (numerator and denominator multiplied by 2)3/18 (by 3)
4/24 (by 4) etc.

Consider a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 – 2x – 8 = 0. Which statements are true? Select three options. The radius of the cir
FromTheMoon [43]

The statements which are correct about the equation of circle x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0 are 1) The radius of the circle is 3 units,2) The center of the circle lies on the x axis,5) The radius of this circle is the same the radius of the circle whose equation is x^{2} +y^{2} =9.

Given the equation of circle be x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0.

We are required to find the appropriate statements related to the equation x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0.

x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0 can be written as under:

x^{2} +y^{2} -2x+1-9=0

x^{2} +1^{2}-2x+y^{2} -9=0

(x-1)^{2}+y^{2}-9=0

(x-1)^{2} +y^{2} =9

(x-1)^{2}+y^{2}  =3^{2}

Equation of a circle usually in the form x^{2} +y^{2} =a^{2} in which a is radius.

From the comparison of both the equations we get that radius is 3 units.

From the equation point will be (1,0). It is on the x axis.

Hence the statements which are correct about the equation of circle x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0 are 1) The radius of the circle is 3 units,2) The center of the circle lies on the x axis,5) The radius of this circle is the same the radius of the circle whose equation is x^{2} +y^{2} =9.
