im stuck on this question.

a robot travels away from a starting point S on a bearing of 130 degrees for a distance of 200km before changing direction and travelling on a bearing of 60 degrees for a further 50km before halting at point H
using trig try to find the bearing and distance of H

thanks if any1 can be bothered to work it out for me, cause i cant do it

also needs to be in 2moro :S

oh plz show ur working if u can. ty agen

Heh you want us to do your maths work for you? One answer to that ask your parents or ask your teacher tommorrow to find out yourself, you cant let people do your work for you other wise you will never learn to do it yourself.

When you were first born, was you already as retarded as you are today or did it develop gradually? The guy did not ASK on WHO to ask to get help from, he just asked a simple maths question that he wants the working out for.

Back on topic - im not really good at maths but i would say if you draw what it asks you to scale then you measure the distace and you should be able to get the meassurements for h.

yeah good idea, draw a 200km long triangle.

see it as a triangle with sides 200km and 50cm with a 60 degree angle between them plus another unkown side. Just find out the unkown as you would any trig question.

If you dnot know how to do trig, im not explaining it.

I am really suprised that you are not banned yet. Since you seem to flame me on every post i do. Your not funny get over it, If the maths question is so simply why didnt you give him the answer? I think it is clear who is the real retard here which is you my friend.

I think you are both stupid,and should both be banned.

P.S You are definately not someone who should critisize ones sense of humour after posting this..

Just quickly, if thats a right angled triangle (if you drew it properly you would find that it is) then the side you want to find (call it x) is 200 squared = 50 squared TIMES x squared. Which equals 200 squared - 50 squared and then square root it. In total you get 193.65 KM as x. If you want to find the angle do SinX = 50/200 and then work from there (hard to type on a computer). I'm not exactly concentrating but it should be something like that.
