A girl walks 800 m on a bearing of 129°. Calculate how far: a east b south she is from
her starting point.

a) 503.2m

b) 621.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.

A represents her starting point.

CD = x = how far east she is from her starting point

BC = y = how far south she is from her starting point

Angle BAC = 180 - 129 = 51°

Angle ACD = angle BAC = 51° because they are alternate angles

To determine x, we would apply the cosine trigonometric ratio

Cos 51 = x /800

x = 800Cos51 = 800 × 0.629 = 503.2m

To determine y, we would apply the sine trigonometric ratio

Sin 51 = y /800

y = 800Sin51 = 800 × 0.777 = 621.6m

(sin 42)/31. = sinx)/37

sinx = 37 (sin42)/31

= 37× 0.66/31 = 0.787

x= 51.9

other angle opposite to y = 180-51.9-42

= 180- 93.9 =86.1

so

sin42)/31 = sin 86.1)/y

0.021 = 0.997 /y

y= 0.997/0.021 =47.47

it could be 1,3 and more others to create a cylinder.
