Answer:

35.7 km and 248.3 °

Step-by-step explanation:

To clarify, I will include a diagram as an image.

We begin with the cosine law formula:

y² = 42² + 28² - (2 * 42 * 25 * cos 58 °)

y² = 2389 - 1112.83 = 1276.17

y = √1276.17

y = 35.72 km

Next, to find the bearing of the surveyor from her camp, we apply the sine law:

[(Sin 58 °) / y] = [(Sin A) / 42]

Here, A = (42 * sin 58 °) / 35.72

A = sin⁻¹ (0.9971)

A = 85.7 °

The bearing from the base camp now calculates to: 270 ° - (85.7 ° - 64 °) = 248.3 °

A park ranger has 32 feet of fencing to fence four sides of a rectangular recycling site. What is the greatest area of recycling
Inessa [12570]
The maximum area that can be enclosed is 64 ft². To achieve the largest area while minimizing the perimeter, the dimensions should be as equal as possible. Allocating 32 feet of fencing for four sides gives us 8 feet per side, resulting in a square with a side length of 8; thus, the area equals 8*8 = 64.

Josh needs to cover a rectangular opening of 12 inches × 18 inches with plywood. how much will he need, in square feet, if he wa
tester [12383]

We understand that

1 foot corresponds to 12 inches.


Step 1

Dimensions of the plywood needed are

(12+3+3) x (18+3+3)------> 18 inches x 24 inches.


Step 2

Convert inches into feet:

18 in-------> 18/12=1.5 ft.

24 in------> 24/12=2 ft.


Step 3

To calculate the area of plywood needed:

A=b*h------> 1.5*2------> A=3 ft².


The final result is

3 ft²

Alonso brings \$21$21dollar sign, 21 to the market to buy eggs and avocados. He gets eggs that cost \$2.50$2.50dollar sign, 2, p
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

B ≤ 11 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Alonso starts with $21. After purchasing eggs for $2.50, he has $21 - $2.50 left = $18.50

Thus, the remaining money for avocados is $18.50.

Each 3 bags of avocados cost $5, making the price for 1 bag $(5/3)

Consequently, if B represents the quantity of avocado bags purchased by Alonso, it could be expressed as:

B ≤ $18.50 ÷ $(5/3)

B ≤ 11.1

B ≤ 11

B ≤ 11 bags

An element with mass 570 grams decays by 26.9% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 14 minutes, to the nearest
Svet_ta [12734]

Respuesta:

la cantidad de elemento restante después de 14 minutos = 7.091 g =~ 10 g

Explicación paso a paso:

Después de cada minuto, la cantidad que queda será

(100 - 26.9) % es decir, 73.1 %

lo que equivale a 0.731 veces la cantidad inicial.

Si el tiempo transcurrido se representa como t, la función f(t) indica la masa del elemento restante, nuestra ecuación será

f(t) = 570(0.731) ^ t

t= 14 minutos

f(14) = 570 (0.731) ^ 14

= 7.091 g =~ 10 g
