1)
∠BAC = ∠NAC - ∠NAB = 144 - 68 = 76⁰
AB = 370 m
AC = 510 m
To find BC we can use cosine law.
a² = b² + c² -2bc*cos A
|BC|² = |AC|²+|AB|² - 2|AC|*|AB|*cos(∠BAC)
|BC|² = 510²+370² - 2*510*370*cos(∠76⁰) =
|BC| ≈ 553 m
2)
To find ∠ACB, we are going to use law of sine.
sin(∠BAC)/|BC| = sin(∠ACB)/|AB|
sin(76⁰)/553 m = sin(∠ACB)/370 m
sin(∠ACB)=(370*sin(76⁰))/553 =0.6492
∠ACB = 40.48⁰≈ 40⁰
3)
∠BAC = 76⁰
∠ACB = 40⁰
∠CBA = 180-(76+40) = 64⁰
Bearing C from B =360⁰- 64⁰-(180-68) = 184⁰
4)
Shortest distance from A to BC is height (h) from A to BC.
We know that area of the triangle
A= (1/2)|AB|*|AC|* sin(∠BAC) =(1/2)*370*510*sin(76⁰).
Also, area the same triangle
A= (1/2)|BC|*h = (1/2)*553*h.
So, we can write
(1/2)*370*510*sin(76⁰) =(1/2)*553*h
370*510*sin(76⁰) =553*h
h= 370*510*sin(76⁰) / 553= 331 m
h=331 m
Answer:
1. 121 π unit²
2. 143°
3. 151 unit²
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr²
where
A is the area,
r is the radius of the circle
From the given diagram, we can see that the radius is 11, hence the area will be:
The answer is units^2
2.
The unshaded secctor and the shaded sector equals the circle. We know that circle is 360°. The unshaded sector has an angle of 217°. So the shaded part will be 360 - 217 = 143°
The measure of the central angle of the shaded sector is 143°
3.
Area of a sector is given by the formula
Where
is the central angle of the sector (in our case it is 143°)
r is the radius (which is 11)
Plugging in all the info into the formula we have:
<em>rounding to the nearest whole number, it is </em>151 units^2
Answer:
The probability that the counter was blue is
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of black Counters = 5
Number of blue Counters = 4
Number of white Counters = 1
We need to write down the probability that the counter was blue.
First find Total Counters
Total Counters = Number of black Counters + Number of blue Counters + Number of white Counters
Total Counters = 5+4+1
Total Counters = 10
Now, we need to find probability that the counter taken was blue
The formula used is:
There are 4 blue counters in the back, so Favourable outcomes = 4
The probability that the counter was blue is
