Question 14 of 25 • S1S-OC: Pre-Calculus B (E3710 - AG)
A boat leaves a pier and travels 15 miles due east, then turns and travels 15 miles in the direction N 20° E. Which diagram represents the boat’s current distance, x, from the pier?
Answer
A
On a coordinate plane, a vector labeled 15 miles is on the x-axis. From that vector, another vector labeled 15 miles goes up and to the right. Vector x goes from (0, 0) to the terminal point of vector 15 miles. Angle a formed with a vertical line and vector 15 miles is 20 degrees.
B
On a coordinate plane, a vector labeled 15 miles is on the x-axis. From that vector, another vector labeled 15 miles goes up and to the right. Vector x goes from (0, 0) to the terminal point of vector 15 miles. Angle a formed with the x-axis and vector 15 miles is 20 degrees.
C
On a coordinate plane, a vector labeled 15 miles is on the x-axis. From that vector, another vector labeled 15 miles goes up and to the left. Vector x goes from (0, 0) to the terminal point of vector 15 miles. Angle a formed by a vertical line and vector 15 miles is 20 degrees.
D
On a coordinate plane, a vector labeled 15 miles is on the x-axis. From that vector, another vector labeled 15 miles goes up and to the left. Vector x goes from (0, 0) to the terminal point of vector 15 miles. Angle a formed by vector 15 miles and the x-axis is 20 degrees.
