The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in <em>straight</em> line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

A plane that travels a distance r, in kilometers, with a bearing of \theta sexagesimal degrees can be represented in standard position by means of the following expression:

\vec r = r\cdot (\sin\theta, \cos \theta) (1)

We can obtain the resulting vector (\vec R) by the principle of superposition:

\vec R = \Sigma_{i=1}^{n} [r_{i}\cdot (\sin \theta_{i}, \cos \theta_{i})] (2)

If we know that r_{1} = 5\,km, \theta_{1} = 0^{\circ}, r_{2} = 6\,km, \theta_{2} = 60^{\circ}, r_{3} = 4\,km and \theta_{3} = 120^{\circ}, then the resulting vector is:

\vec R = 5\cdot (\sin 0^{\circ}, \cos 0^{\circ}) + 6\cdot (\sin 60^{\circ}, \cos 60^{\circ}) + 4\cdot (\sin 120^{\circ}, \cos 120^{\circ})

\vec R = (5\sqrt{3}, 6) \,[km]

The magnitude of the resultant is found by Pythagorean theorem:

\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{R_{x}^{2}+R_{y}^{2}}

And the bearing is determined by the following <em>inverse</em> trigonometric relationship:

\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{R_{y}}{R_{x}}\right) (3)

If we know that R_{x} = 5\sqrt{3}\,km and R_{y} = 6\,km, then the magnitude and the bearing of the resultant is:

\|\vec R\| = \sqrt{(5\sqrt{3})^{2}+6^{2}}

\|\vec R\| \approx 10.536\,km

\theta_{R} = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{6}{5\sqrt{3}} \right)

\theta_{R} \approx 34.715^{\circ}

The plane flies a distance of approximately 10.536 kilometers in <em>straight</em> line and with a bearing of approximately 035°.

C. "David's equation is correct, because their spending will be multiplied by the number of months and then subtracted from their savings"

they are technically saying "Look we have 12,350 to use. How long (y) will the savings (12,350) last after using 240 each month (x)
so the amount they use *PER* month gets subtracted from the savings because they are using that money to pay with

Hope this helps :)

The measure of angle ABD is 105º. The measure of angle ABC is 75º.
MakcuM [25]

If we know that the WHOLE angle added is 105 and only part is 75 you need to subtract the whole angle and subtract from part of the whole angle.

105-75=30. You get 30 And that’s you answer!

Picture to help with your understanding.

You are skiing down a mountain with a vertical height of 800 feet. The distance from the top of the mountain to the base is 1600
adoni [48]

Answer:

θ  = 30^{0}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the vertical height of the mountain is 800 feet, and the distance from the top to its base is 1600 feet. Let the angle of elevation be represented by θ, applying the required trigonometric function;

Sin θ = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Sin θ = \frac{800}{1600}

        = 0.5

θ = Sin^{-1} 0.5

θ  = 30^{0}

Thus, the angle of elevation from the base to the top of the mountain is 30^{0}.
