Answer:
distance: 320.624 miles
direction: 43.576°
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed and direction can be found by adding the given vectors.
... 320∠40° + 20∠130°
... = (320·cos(40°), 320·sin(40°)) + (20·cos(130°), 20·sin(130°))
... = (245.134, 205.692) +(-12.856, 15.321) = (232.278, 221.013)
The magnitude of the vector with these components is found using the Pythagorean theorem. The direction is found using the arctangent function.
... = √(232.278² +221.013²)∠arctan(221.013/232.278)
... = 320.624∠43.576°

<em>Comment on coordinate systems</em>
Navigation directions are generally measured clockwise from North. Angles in the usual x-y coordinate plane are measured counterclockwise from +x (effectively, East). You can consider the geometry of the navigation coordinate system to be a reflection across the line y=x of the geometry of the usual x-y coordinate system.
Reflection does not change lengths or angles within a given geometry. Hence, we can use all the usual tools of vector calculation using navigation coordinates, without bothering to translate them back and forth to x-y coordinates.

Problems like this generally can be worked using the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines, too. It generally helps to draw a diagram so you can find the values of the angles betwee the various vectors more easily.
Answer:
60.42%
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of home runs hit by Adrian Beltre in 2004 = 48
Number of home runs hit by Adrian Beltre in 2005 = 19
To find:
Percentage decrease in home run production from 2004 to 2005.
Solution:
To find the percentage decrease, first of all we need to find the decrease in the number of home runs and then we will divide with the number of home runs in 2004 and then finally will multiply the result with 100 to get the percentage decrease.
Decrease in the number of home runs = Number of home runs in 2004 - Number of home runs in 2005 = 48 - 19 = 29
Therefore, by 60.42% Beltre's home run production has decreased from 2004 to 2005.
