Applying the cosine law, we can determine:

<span>c</span>²<span> = a</span>²<span> + b</span>²<span> - 2abcos(C) </span>
<span>where: </span>
<span>a, b, and c represent the sides of the triangle and C indicates the angle opposite to side c</span>

<span>Thus, we have:</span>
<span>150</span>²<span> = 240</span>²<span> + 200</span>²<span> - 2(240)(200)cos(C) </span>

<span>Now we solve for C</span>

<span>22,500 = 57,600 + 40,000 - 96,000cos(C) </span>
<span>22,500 - 57,600 - 40,000 = -96,000cos(C) 
</span>-75,100=-96,000cos (C)
cos (C)=0.7822916
C=arc cos(0.7822916)→ C=38.53°

<span>Therefore, the direction the captain should head towards island B is
180 - 38.53 </span><span>= 141.47 degrees</span>

ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, as shown below: Circle O is shown with a quadrilateral ABCD inscribed inside it.
PIT_PIT [9117]

Answer:

B. (x + 16) + (6x − 4) = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

The Theorem of Cyclic Quadrilaterals states that in any quadrilateral located within a circle, the angles opposite to each other will sum to 180 degrees. Therefore, the conclusion can be drawn:

∠A + ∠C = 180° leading to (x + 16) + (6x - 4) = 180°

∠B + ∠D = 180° which equates to x + (2x - 16) = 180°

What is the future value of $845 a year for seven years at an interest rate of 11.3 percent? $6,683.95 $6,075.69 $8,343.51 $8,00
lawyer [9240]
To determine the future value of an initial amount of $845 at an interest rate of 11.3% over 7 years, we will utilize the compound interest formula, which is expressed as:
A=p(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=future value
r=rate=11.3%=0.113
time=7 years
Hence, the future value of the capital will be:
A=845(1+0.113)^7
A=845(1.113)^7
A=$1,787.82

Suppose we are given 4 sets A, B, C, D such that A ⊆ B and C ⊆ D such that A and C have no elements in common. Prove or give a c
babunello [8412]

Here’s a counterexample: consider

B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\},\quad D = \{A, B, C, D, 5\}

Select the subsets in the following manner:

A = \{1, 5\},\quad C = \{A, B, C\}

It's accurate that A\subseteq B and C\subseteq D and that A\cap C=\emptyset, but A\cap D = \{5\}

Imagine that after washing 5 distinct pairs of socks, you discover that two socks are missing! of course, you would like to have
Zina [9171]
Part A:

Considering the best possible outcome

The ideal case occurs if the two missing socks are from the same pair.
Consequently, there are 4 complete pairs remaining.

To choose 2 from the total of 10 socks (5 pairs), the number of combinations is given by 10C2 = 45.

Choosing 2 that are from the same pair means selecting one from 5 pairs, so the count is 5C1 = 5.

Thus, the probability for this best case is 5 / 45 = 1 / 9.

Part B:

Considering the worst-case outcome

This scenario occurs when the two missing socks are from different pairs.
As a result, we have 3 complete pairs left.

The total ways to select 2 socks from 10, again, is 10C2 = 45.

To select 2 that do not belong to the same pair, we calculate as follows: 10C2 - 5C1 = 45 - 5 = 40.

Therefore, the probability for the worst-case scenario is 40 / 45 = 8 / 9.
