A ship has an island directly in the path of the destination port, so it has to travel 11.5 miles west and then 8.4 miles north

to get to the port. To the nearest tenth,how much shorter would the trip be if the ship could go directly to port?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct distance there (without the island in the way) is found using the Pythagorean Theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a = 8.4

b = 11.5

c = ?

c^2 = 8.4^2 + 11.5^2              Square the length of the legs.

c^2 = 70.56 + 132.25            Combine  

c^2 = 202.81                          Take the square root.

c = 14.24

But the island is there. The distance travelled = 8.4 + 11.5 = 19.9 miles

So the additional distance = 19.9 - 14.24 = 5.66 miles.

Complete the following statement: f(3)=_____
Lesechka [4]
Using this equation, f(3) = 23.

In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original. 

f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2) 

Now place 3 in for each x. 

f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)

Now square the 3.

f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)

Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis. 

f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)

Take the square root

f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)

Multiply. 

f(3) = 18 + 5

And add. 

f(3) = 23

Points N and R both lie on circle O. Line segment RQ is tangent to the circle at point R.
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

15.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by looking at triangle ORQ. Since RQ is tangent to the circle, we know that angle ∠ORQ is 90°. Then, since OR is equivalent to the radius of 5, RQ is 5√3, and side OQ is clearly larger than RQ, we can identify this as a 90-60-30 degree triangle. This makes side OQ have a length of 10, and angle ∠QOR, opposite of the second largest side, has the second largest angle of 60°, leaving ∠OQR with an angle of 30°.

The formula for the chord length is 2r*sin(c/2), with c being the angle between the two points on the circle (in this case, ∠QOR=∠NOR).. Our radius is 5, so the length of chord NR is 2*5*sin(60/2)=5, making our answer 5(ON)+5(OR)+5(RN)

Answer:

110°

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 25

Angle 5 equals Angle 4 because of the Alternate Angles Postulate.

Angle 4 equals 110°
