Answer:
The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter
Step-by-step explanation:
It's all about making sense of an English sentence.
"half the sum ..." is different from "the sum of half ..."
And ...
"at least" and "not less than" mean the same (≥)
"not more than" and "at most" mean the same (≤)
_____
Since all of the expressions are written out in words, it is a matter of matching the ideas expressed. That's a problem in reading comprehension, not math.
__
"One-half x + three-fourths [is] greater-than-or-equal-to 5 and one-fourth"
means the same as ...
"The sum of half of a number and three-fourths is at least five and one quarter"
We know that
Applying the law of cosines:
<span>c</span>²<span> = a</span>²<span> + b</span>²<span> - 2abcos(C) </span>
<span>where: </span>
<span>a,b and c are sides of the triangle and C is the angle opposite side c </span>
<span>that is </span>
<span>150</span>²<span> = 240</span>²<span> + 200</span>²<span> - 2(240)(200)cos(C) </span>
<span>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>hence, </span>
<span>he should turn in the direction of island b by
180 - 38.53 </span><span>= 141.47 degrees</span>
