Question 2

1 pts

A ship sails for 400 miles on a bearing of 60°. It then changes directions and sails for

100 miles on a bearing of 150°. How far away is the ship from its starting point?

10 170000 miles

360.555 miles

300 miles

412.310 miles

412.310 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo. The bearing is taken with respect to the northern direction. The angles at B are determined by applying the concept of alternate angles with respect to parallel lines.

A right angle triangle ABC is formed. The starting point is A and the end point is C. The distance, x between A and C represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We would determine x by applying Pythagoras theorem which us expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

x² = 400² + 100² = 170000

x = √170000

x = 412.310 miles

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8  

the answer is 1/4
