Answer:

596.34m approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the Starting point be x

A helicopter flew north 325 meters from x

Then flew east 500 meters

Let us apply the Pythagoras theorem to solve for the resultant which is the distance from the starting position

x^2= 325^2+500^2

x^2=105625+250000

x^2= 355625

x= √355625

x=596.34m

Hence the distance from the starting point is 596.34m approx

Angle P measures 112 degrees, what are the measures of angle N and O?

Oxana [17]

The inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees
in this triangle the lines NP and OP are identical so the 2 unknown angles would be equal
so the 2 unknown angles would be 180 - 112 = 68 / 2 = 34 each
angle N & O are 34 degrees

In the right trange show, A=30 degrees and AC=12 <br> How long is AB

Levart [38]

Answer:

$AB=6\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given\ \angle A=30\textdegree\\\\AC=12\\\\\cos \theta=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\\cos A=\frac{AB}{AC}\\\\\cos 30=\frac{AB}{12}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{AB}{12}\\\\AB=6\sqrt{3}$
