A boat is traveling due east parallel to the shoreline at a speed of 10 miles per hour. At a given time, the bearing to a lighthouse is S70E, and 15 minutes later the bearing is S63E (see figure). The lighthouse is located at the shoreline. What is the distance from the boat to the shoreline?
A point that moves on a coordinate line is in simple when its distance d from the origin at time t is given by either d=asintord=acost.
Rescue A helicopter makes a forced landing at sea. The last radio signal received at station C gives the bearing of the helicopter from C as N 57.5 E at an altitude of 426 feet. An observer at C sights the helicopter and gives DCB as 12.3, how far will a rescue boat at A have to travel to reach any survivors at B (Figure 20)? Figure 20
Determine the distance AB if CO = 19.8 mm.
Circumference of the Earth The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes ca.276-195 B.C. measured the circumference of the earth from the following observations. He noticed that on a certain day the sun shone directly down a deep well in Syene modern Aswan. At the same time in Alexandria, 500 miles north on the same meridian, the rays of the sun shone at an angle of 7.2 to the zenith. Use this information and the figure to find the radius and circumference of the earth.
