Answer:

The distance of the boat from B is approximately 9.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of light house B from A = 9 miles west

The distance of the boat from A = 4 miles

The bearing of the boat from A = NE65

We have;

4/(sin25) = 9/sin(B)

sin B = 9*sin(25)/4

B ≈ 71.969

a² = 4² + 9² - 2 × 4 × 9 × cos(180 - 25 - 71.969) ≈ 88.264

The distance of the boat from B, a ≈ √88.264 ≈ 9.4

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Here we have:

"In Family A, the youngest child is 7 years younger than the oldest, who is 18"

Let's define:

Y = age of the youngest child.

O = age of the oldest child.

Then we know that:

Y = O - 7

O = 18

Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:

Y = 18 - 7 = 11.

b) Here we have:

"In Family B, the middle child is 5 years older than the youngest child."

Let's define:

Y = age of the youngest child.

M = age of the middle child.

Here we have only one equation:

M = Y + 5.
