Answer:

156.37°

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this above question, using Cosine rule which is given as:

Cos C = a² + b² - c²/2ab

Let the Angle be represented as: x

Cos x = 310² + 200² - 150²/2 × 310 × 200

x = arc cos [ 310² + 200² - 150²/2 × 310 × 200]

x = 23.63°

The angle, in degrees, that he must turn through to head straight for Island B is given as:

180° - 23.63°

= 156.37°

a square poster of length 3x is going to have a square painting centered on it. The length of the painting is 2x. the area of th
eduard
One way to solve this is to look at the size of the poster, and then subtract the size of the picture so you have the area that needs to be painted left.

Area of square poster - 3x × 3x = 9x^2
Area of painting - 2x × 2x = 4x^2

9x^2 - 4x^2 = 5x^2

The area is 5x^2
