9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) 123.4°

  b) 3.3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

In (N, E) coordinates, Boat 1 is located relative to the lighthouse at ...

  2(cos(60°), sin(60°)) = (1.0, 1.732) . . . . . km

Boat 2 is located at ...

  3(cost(340°), sin(340°)) = (2.819, -1.026) . . . . . km

So, relative to Boat 2, Boat 1 is located at ...

  (1, 1.732) -(2.819, -1.026) = (-1.819, 2.758) . . . . . km

This is at a bearing of ...

  arctan(2.758/-1.819) = 123.4°

and a distance of ...

  √(1.819² +2.758²) ≈ 3.304 . . . . . km

a) Boat 2 would need to travel on a bearing of 123.4°.

b) Boat 2 would need to travel 3.3 km.

<em>Additional comment</em>

We use (North, East) coordinates so we don't have to do the mental gyrations necessary to translate to and from (E, N) coordinates. The latter would correctly orient a map relative to the X-Y Cartesian plane. The former are equivalent to flipping the map over and looking at it from the back side. This is a "rigid transformation", so angles and distances remain unchanged.

1. a type of bamboo holds a Guinness world record for the fastest growing plant.is can grow 91cm a day. how fast in inches per h
nikdorinn [45]

1-

Given length is 91 cm

1 cm = 0.3937 inch

so, 91 cm = 91* 0.3937 = 35.826 inches

1 day = 24 hours

In 24 hours the bamboo grows = 35.826 inches

In one hour it will grow = \frac{35.826}{24}

= 1.492 inches per hour. Hence the bamboo grows 1.492 inches per hour.


2-

We have to convert hours and seconds in minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes

so 10 hours = 60 * 10 = 600 minutes.

60 seconds = 1 minute

so 24 seconds = \frac{24}{60} = 0.4 minutes.

Now we have been given the total time as 10 hours, 39 minutes and 24 seconds

So adding all values in minutes, we get

600 + 39 + 0.4 = 639.4 minutes

So Saturn takes 639.4 minutes to complete one rotation

3-

Given equation is 0.4(30h)+30h

0.4(30h) represents the amount of tax Kimberly has to pay.

There are 10 marbles in a bag. Tyrell draws one marble out at a time without looking and replaces it in the bag. Tyrell did this
LekaFEV [45]
The best choice is 'C'. If it's 1, 5, and 4, then ideally, in 100 draws, you would expect 10, 50, and 40 ... pretty close to Tyrell's actual experimental results.
