Avessel sails 32 miles s 45 e. how far south has it sailed?

If there is 45 angle from the south to the east α= 45° then the distance of d=32miles is

the diagonal of the square and your question how far south has it sailed is the side of the square let's call it x.

The relation is

d = x √2 => x= d/√2 = 32/1.41 ≈ 22.69 ≈ 22.7 miles

The correct answer is 22.7 miles

Good luck!!

what "following statement"?

step-by-step explanation:

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
