Question
- A ferry transports tourists between three islands. From the port, to get to the first island, it sails 10 km straight east and then 30 km straight south. It then sails from the first island to second island in a direction of 15 km, 30° south of west.
- How far is the second island from the port?
- How far and in what direction should the fairy sails to get to the third island from the second island? (Note: the third island is 24 km, 57.2° south of west from the port.

- Part 2 of this question ask for the direction ° below the +x-axisarrow_forwardIsabella boarded a ferris wheel. She traveled from the 6 o clock position, the radius being 22 yards. She traveled counter clockwise but suddendly stopped before reaching the 12 o clock position. She identified that her position was 21 yards above the vertical midline of the ferris wheel. The backup batteries of the ferris wheel kicked in and pushed her an additional 120 degrees. Does Isabella reach the 9 o clock position? Justify your answerarrow_forwardJack goes for a ride on a ferris wheel that has a radius of 37 meters. The center of the ferris wheel is 49 meters above the ground. He starts his ride at the 12 o'clock position and travels counter clockwise. Define a function g that represents Jack's horizontal distance in meters relative to vertical midline of the wheel in terms of the angle (measured in radians) Jack makes with the center.arrow_forward
