Answer:
y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value
sin30° =
, then
sin30° =
=
=
( cross- multiply )
2y = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the son's age be x and man be y
y=26+x
y=8+3x
x=9
Son's age is 9
Answer:
5x-6y-12=0
Step-by-step explanation:
...make y the subject y=-6/5x +2
...use the coefficient of x as the gradient,m=-6/5
...for a perpendicular line,find the negative reciprocal of the gradient,5/6
...sub into the eqn y= -1/m(x-a)+b
B.6 because the length is equal to the length of the other 6
Answer:
The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed = 
Sarah's speed = 6 km/hr = 1.6667 m/s
Emily's speed = 10 km/hr = 2.7778 m/s
The measure of angle between their bearings = 
After 30 minutes (1800 seconds);
distance = speed x time
Sarah would have covered a distance = 1.6667 x 1800
= 3000 m
= 3 km
Emily would have covered a distance = 2.7778 x 1800
= 5000 m
= 5 km
The distance between them, a, can be determined by applying the cosine rule;
=
+
- 2bcCos A
=
+
-2(5000 x 3000) Cos 105
=
+
-2(5000 x 3000) x (-0.2588)
= 2.5 x
+ 9 x
+ 7764000
= 41764000
a = 
= 6462.5073
a = 6462.5 m
The distance between them after 30 minutes is 6.5 km.
