Question

If a space ship diverts from its path at an angle of 10 degree and covers 2 twice the distance that had to be covered before diversion.Then what angleshould it turn to face to its destination?​

Answer 1

Answer:

80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The space ship was going on a path and it got diverted by 10 degrees, now the spaceship went twice the distance that was to be covered.

let the distance that was to be covered originally = x

The distance covered later will become = 2x

on representing this figure on paper we get a triangle which has 1 angle as 10 degree and 2 sides as x and 2x, name the triangle A,B&C

assuming that the angle B is right angled,

according to angle sum property

angle C + B + A  = 180 degree

Angle C + 100 degree = 180 degree

Angle C = 180 - 100 degree

Angle C = 80 degree
