The bearing of Q from P is 150

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(i) see first attached diagram

(ii) QR = 22.67 km (2 dp)

(iii) 243°

Step-by-step explanation:

A bearing is the angle in degrees measured clockwise from north.

<u />

<u>Part (i)</u>

see first attached diagram

<u>Part (ii)</u>

The angles marked in blue on the second attached diagram are Consecutive Interior Angles.  In this case they add to 180° as the North lines are parallel.

The sum of angles around a point is 360°

⇒ m∠QPR (shown in red on the second attached diagram) = 360 - 150 - (180 - 15) = 45°        

To calculate the distance between Q and R (marked in red on the attached diagram), use the cosine rule.

⇒ QR² = PR² + QP² - 2(PR)(QP)cos(QPR)

⇒ QR² = 32² + 24² - 2(32)(24)cos(45)

⇒ QR² = 513.8839841...

⇒ QR = √513.8839841...

⇒ QR = 22.67 km (2 dp)

<u>Part (iii)</u>

We need to find the angle marked in green on the third attached diagram.

To do this, we need to find the angle marked in pink and the angle marked in orange, then subtract them from 360°

Pink angle = 180 - 150 = 30° (using the same consecutive angle theorem as before)

Orange angle (o) using the sine rule:

⇒ sin(o)/32 = sin(45)/QR

⇒ sin(o) = 32sin(45)/22.67

⇒ sin(o) = 0.9981652337...

⇒ o = 86.52868176...°

Therefore, the green angle = 360 - 30 - 86.52868176... = 243° (nearest degree)

Item 6 sq−→sq→ bisects ∠rst∠rst, sp−→sp→ bisects ∠rsq∠rsq, and sv−→sv→ bisects ∠rsp∠rsp. the measure of ∠vsp∠vsp is 17°17°. find
Stolb23 [73]
<span>Angle TSQ measures 68 degrees. When a ray bisects an angle, it divides it into two equal parts. Each part is one-half the measurement of the original angle. Several rays are described as bisecting different angles. I would sketch a diagram to keep track of all the different rays and angles.
       
A. Since angle RST is bisected by ray SQ, angle RSQ and angle QST are each half the size of angle RST.
       
B. Since angle RSQ is bisected by ray SP, angle RSP and angle PSQ are each half the size of angle RSQ.
       
C. Since angle RSP is bisected by ray SV, angle RSV and angle VSP are each half the size of angle RSP. We are given the measurement of angle VSP as 17 degrees. To find the measure of angle RSP, we notice in statement C above that VSP is half the size of angle RSP. If we double angle VSP's measurement (multiply by 2), we get angle RSP measures 34 degrees. Using similar logic and statement B above, we double RSP's measurement of 34 to get angle RSQ's measurement. Double 34 is 68, angle RSQ's measurement in degrees. From statement A above, we notice that RSQ's measurement is equal to that of angle QST's. Therefore, angle QST also measures 68 degrees. However, the question asks us to find the measurement of angle TSQ. However, angle QST and angle TSQ are the same. Either description can be used. Therefore, the measurement of angle TSQ is 68 degrees.</span>

(PLEASE ANSWER: TIMED)The intensity, or loudness, of a sound can be measured in decibels (dB), according to the equation I(dB)=1
Mrac [35]
For this case we have the following equation:
 l(dB) = 10log( \frac{l}{lo} )
 We must replace the following value in the equation:
 l = 10^8lo
 Substituting we have:
 l(dB) = 10log( \frac{10^8lo}{lo} )
 Simplifying the given expression we have:
 l(dB) = 10log(10^8)
 Then, using logarithm properties in base 10, we can rewrite the expression:
 l(dB) = 10(8)
 Finally, making the product, the result is:
 l(dB) = 80
 Answer:
 
l(dB) = 80
