2. A helicopter flies between two islands that are 20 miles apart. The angle of elevation with one island is 15o and 35o with the second island. What is the mileage of the helicopter? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a mile. (Law of Sines or Law of Cosines Problem)

Answers

Answer 1

The laws of cosines and law of sines can be used given that two sides

and an included angle, or two angles a side are known.

Response:

1. The other angles in the triangle formed by the buoy are approximately;

31.1° and 40.9°

2. Distance of the helicopter from the first island is approximately;

14.5 miles

How is the Law of Sines and Cosines used?

Given parameters are;

Distance of the buoy from the easternmost point of a boat = 19 yards

Distance of the buoy from the westernmost point of the other boat = 15 yards

Angle formed from the buoy to the two boats = 108°

Distance between the two boats, d, is given by the law of cosines, as follows;

d² = 19² + 15² - 2 × 19 × 15 × cos(108°) = 586 - 570·cos(108°)

d = √(586 - 570·cos(108°))

By the law of Sines, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{d}{sin(108^{\circ})} = \mathbf{\dfrac{15}{sin(Angle \ formed \ from \ the \ boat \ on \ the \ West, \ \theta_1)}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]sin(\theta_1) = \mathbf{ \dfrac{15 \times sin(108^{\circ})}{\sqrt{586 - 570 \cdot cos(108^{\circ})} }}[/tex]

The o

[tex]\theta_1 = arcsin \left( \dfrac{15 \times sin(108^{\circ})}{\sqrt{586 - 570 \cdot cos(108^{\circ})} } \right) \approx \mathbf{31.1^{\circ}}[/tex]

The other angles formed in the triangle containing the buoy are;

θ₁ ≈ 31.1θ₂ ≈ 180° - 108° - 31.1° ≈ 40.9°

2. Distance between the two islands = 20 miles

Angle of elevation with one island = 15°

Angle of elevation with the second island = 35°

Required:

The mileage (distance travelled) of the helicopter.

Solution:

Let A represent the island that has an angle of elevation to the helicopter

of 15°, and let B represent the other island.

Angle formed by the helicopter and the two island, θ, is found as follows;

θ = 180° - (15° + 35°) = 130°

By the Law of Sines, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{20}{sin(130^{\circ})} = \mathbf{ \dfrac{Distance \ from \ island \ A }{sin(35^{\circ})}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]Distance \ of \ helicopter \ from \ island \ A = \mathbf{ \dfrac{20}{sin(130^{\circ})} \times sin(35^{\circ})}[/tex]

[tex]Mileage \ from \ island \ A = \dfrac{20}{sin(130^{\circ})} \times sin(35^{\circ}) \times cos(15^{\circ}) \approx 14.5[/tex]

The mileage of the helicopter from the first island is approximately 14.5 miles

Answers

Answer:

s = 71

j = 23

71 = 3j+2

71 - 2 = 3j

39 = 3j

j = 23

Answer:

j=23

s=71

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two parallel lines lines( UB and DK).

And we have another line, called a transversal that intersects( crosses) both parallel line. Doing so creates the following angles,

Vertical Angles, Angles are equal in measure Alternate Exterior Angles, Angles are equalAlternate Interior Angles. Angles are equalConsective Angles. Angles are equalLinear Pair Angles. Angles add up to 180

So now we look at the graph

First, we know that 3j+2 and s are vertical angles since they are across of each other. So they are equal to each other so let look at another angle first.

3j+s and 71 are Alternate Interior Angles since they lie inside the transversal and are across from each other.

Since they are Alternate Interior Angles, they are equal.

So we set them equal to each other.

[tex]3j + 2 = 71[/tex]

Subtract 2 from both sides

[tex]3j = 69[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]j = 23[/tex]

The value of j is 23.

Know to find S, we know s is equal to 3j+2, which when we plug in 23 for j, we get 71.

So s=71

A) 4<-16

B)4>-16

C)-4<16

D)-4>16

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

4 meters above. So 4 will not be negative, this eliminates C and D.

16 is definitely negative. So that eliminates C and D again.

< the number on the left of this is smaller than the right

> the number of the right of this is bigger than the left

4 is larger than -16

4>-16

B

I think it’s A because 4 is above which mean it’s positive and 16 below when negative. That means it’s greater than because the larger number eats the smallest number.

-5x = 18

x = -3.6

3x = 11

x = 11/3

What is the lcm of 12 and 18

Answer: 36

Explanation: 36 is the smallest number divisible by both 12 and 18.
12x3 and 18x2 = 36

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 18

One easy way to do that is to split up the numbers into one of their factor pairs, find the factor pairs between the numbers we just split apart, and then keep on going, until we only get prime numbers (numbers that only have 1 and itself as multiples)
Let's start with 12.

There are multiple ways to multiply to get to 12, but we can use 3 and 4 for example

12= 3*4

4 is 2 * 2  

Substituting 2*2 for 4, 12 is equal to 2*2*3

Now for 18.

18 can also be split up multiple ways; one way would be 9 and 2

18 = 2*9

9 is 3*3

Substitute 3*3 for 9.

18=2*3*3
Now look at 2*2*3; 2 shows up twice in that string of numbers

In 2*3*3, 3 shows up twice in that string of numbers

We multiply the numbers based off of the highest number of times that they occur
In other words, we will multiply 2 * 2  and 3 * 3 together
2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 4 * 9 = 36
The LCM of 12 and 18 is 36

Hope this helps!
