Answer:
Both fireworks will explode after 1 seconds after firework b launches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Speed of fire work A= 300 ft/s
Speed of Firework B=240 ft/s
Time before which fire work b is launched =0.25s
To Find:
How many seconds after firework b launches will both fireworks explode=?
Solution:
Let t be the time(seconds) after which both the fireworks explode.
By the time the firework a has been launched, Firework B has been launch 0.25 s, So we can treat them as two separate equation
Firework A= 330(t)
Firework B=240(t)+240(0.25)
Since we need to know the same time after which they explode, we can equate both the equations
330(t) = 240(t)+240(0.25)
300(t)= 240(t)+60
300(t)-240(t)= 60
60(t)=60
t=1
The question is an illustration of bearing (i.e. angles) and distance (i.e. lengths)
The distance between both lighthouses is 5783.96 m
I've added an attachment that represents the scenario.
From the attachment, we have:
Convert to degrees
Convert to degrees
So, the measure of angle S is:
---- Sum of angles in a triangle
The required distance is distance AB
This is calculated using the following sine formula:
Where:
So, we have:
Make AB the subject
Hence, the distance between both lighthouses is 5783.96 m
