Check the picture below, so the circle looks more or less like that one.

well, the center of it is simply the Midpoint of those two points, and its radius is simply half-the-distance between them.

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 3 -5}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 5 + 9}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-2}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{14}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{center}{(-1~~,~~7)} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ \stackrel{diameter}{d}=\sqrt{[3 - (-5)]^2 + [5 - 9]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3+5)^2+(-4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{8^2+16}\implies d=\sqrt{80}\implies d=4\sqrt{5}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{half the diameter}}{\cfrac{4\sqrt{5}}{2}\implies \underset{radius}{2\sqrt{5}}}$

Find the distance from point C to point D.

sineoko [7]

The tangent or tanθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. The distance from point C to point D is 258.8 meters.

<h3>What is Tangent (Tanθ)?</h3>

The tangent or tanθ in a right-angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its base. it is given as,

$\rm Tangent(\theta) = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

The base is the adjacent smaller side of the angle θ.

The distance from point C to D is equal to the distance from point A to B. Therefore, the height of the building can be written as,

Tan(25°) = AB / BC

Tan(25°) × 555 m = AB

AB = 258.8 meters

Hence, the distance from point C to point D is 258.8 meters.

A ship sails 250km due North qnd then 150km on a bearing of 075°.1)How far North is the ship now? 2)How far East is the ship now

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

1) 288.8 km due North

2) 144.9 km due East

3) 323.1 km

4) 207°

Step-by-step explanation:

Bearing: The angle (in degrees) measured clockwise from north.

Trigonometric ratios

$\sf \sin(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{H}\quad\cos(\theta)=\dfrac{A}{H}\quad\tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}$

where:

$\theta$ is the angle
O is the side opposite the angle
A is the side adjacent the angle
H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

Cosine rule

$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab \cos C$

where a, b and c are the sides and C is the angle opposite side c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draw a diagram using the given information (see attached).

Create a right triangle (blue on attached diagram).

This right triangle can be used to calculate the additional vertical and horizontal distance the ship sailed after sailing north for 250 km.

Question 1

To find how far North the ship is now, find the measure of the short leg of the right triangle (labelled y on the attached diagram):

$\implies \sf \cos(75^{\circ})=\dfrac{y}{150}$

$\implies \sf y=150\cos(75^{\circ})$

$\implies \sf y=38.92285677$

Then add it to the first portion of the journey:

⇒ 250 + 38.92285677... = 288.8 km

Therefore, the ship is now 288.8 km due North.

Question 2

To find how far East the ship is now, find the measure of the long leg of the right triangle (labelled x on the attached diagram):

$\implies \sf \sin(75^{\circ})=\dfrac{x}{150}$

$\implies \sf x=150\sin(75^{\circ})$

$\implies \sf x=144.8888739$

Therefore, the ship is now 144.9 km due East.

Question 3

To find how far the ship is from its starting point (labelled in red as d on the attached diagram), use the cosine rule:

$\sf \implies d^2=250^2+150^2-2(250)(150) \cos (180-75)$

$\implies \sf d=\sqrt{250^2+150^2-2(250)(150) \cos (180-75)}$

$\implies \sf d=323.1275729$

Therefore, the ship is 323.1 km from its starting point.

Question 4

To find the bearing that the ship is now from its original position, find the angle labelled green on the attached diagram.

Use the answers from part 1 and 2 to find the angle that needs to be added to 180°:

$\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{Total\:Eastern\:distance}{Total\:Northern\:distance}\right)$

$\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{150\sin(75^{\circ})}{250+150\cos(75^{\circ})}\right)$

$\implies \sf Bearing=180^{\circ}+26.64077...^{\circ}$

$\implies \sf Bearing=207^{\circ}$

Therefore, as bearings are usually given as a three-figure bearings, the bearing of the ship from its original position is 207°
