Complete Question

A boat sails 4km on a bearing of 038 degree and then 5km on a bearing of 067 degree.(a)how far is the boat from its starting point.(b) calculate the bearing of the boat from its starting point

Answer:

a)8.717km

b) 54.146°

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)how far is the boat from its starting point.

We solve this question using resultant vectors

= (Rcos θ, Rsinθ + Rcos θ, Rsinθ)

Where

Rcos θ = x

Rsinθ = y

= (4cos38,4sin38) + (5cos67,5sin67)

= (3.152, 2.4626) + (1.9536, 4.6025)

= (5.1056, 7.065)

x = 5.1056

y = 7.065

Distance = √x² + y²

= √(5.1056²+ 7.065²)

= √75.98137636

= √8.7167296826

Approximately = 8.717 km

Therefore, the boat is 8.717km its starting point.

(b)calculate the bearing of the boat from its starting point.

The bearing of the boat is calculated using

tan θ = y/x

tan θ = 7.065/5.1056

θ = arc tan (7.065/5.1056)

= 54.145828196°

θ ≈ 54.146°

Denise is constructing A square.

Note: A square has all sides equal.

We already given two vertices M and N of the square.

And another edge of the square is made by from N.

Because a square has all sides of equal length, the side NO should also be equal to MN side of the square.

Therefore, <em>Denise need to place the point of the compass on point N and draw an arc that intersects N O, using MN as the width for the opening of the compass. That would make the NO equals MN.</em>

Therefore, correct option is :

D) place the point of the compass on point N and draw an arc that intersects N O, using MN as the width for the opening of the compass.
