Two bicyclists, starting at the same place, are riding toward the same campground by different routes. One cyclist rides 1030 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1480 m before reaching the campground. The second cyclist starts out by heading due north for 1950 m and then turns and heads directly toward the campground. (a) At the turning point, how far is the second cyclist from the campground? (b) In what direction (measured relative to due east within the range (-180¢ª, 180¢ª]) must the second cyclist head during the last part of the trip?

Let's start by drawing a diagram to better visualize the problem.

We have two bicyclists starting at the same place. The first cyclist rides east and then turns north, while the second cyclist heads directly north and then turns towards the campground. Let's label the points on the diagram.

Now, let's solve the problem step by step.

(a) To find the distance between the second cyclist and the campground at the turning point, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

Using the given information, we have:
First cyclist: 1030 m (east) + 1480 m (north) = √(1030^2 + 1480^2) = √(1060900 + 2190400) = √3251300 ≈ 1801.29 m

Second cyclist: 1950 m (north)

At the turning point, the second cyclist is still 1801.29 m away from the campground.

(b) To find the direction the second cyclist must head during the last part of the trip, we can use trigonometry.

Using the given information, we have the opposite side (1480 m) and the adjacent side (1030 m) for the first cyclist.

We can calculate the angle using the tangent function:

tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent
tan(θ) = 1480/1030
θ ≈ tan^(-1)(1480/1030)
θ ≈ 53.33°

Since the second cyclist is heading north, we need to find the angle between the north direction and the direction towards the campground.

The angle between the north direction and the east direction is 90°.

The angle between the east direction and the direction towards the campground is 53.33° (as calculated above).

Therefore, the angle between the north direction and the direction towards the campground is 90° - 53.33° = 36.67°.

So, the second cyclist must head in a direction approximately 36.67° measured relative to due east.

To find the answer to this question, we can use the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometric functions.

Let's start with part (a):

The first cyclist travels 1030 m east and then 1480 m north. We can create a right-angled triangle with the East-West axis as the base and the North-South axis as the height. The distance from the starting point to the campground is the hypotenuse of this triangle.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the hypotenuse:

Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Height^2

Hypotenuse^2 = (1030 m)^2 + (1480 m)^2

Hypotenuse^2 = 1,060,900 m^2 + 2,190,400 m^2

Hypotenuse^2 = 3,251,300 m^2

Hypotenuse ≈ √3,251,300 m

Hypotenuse ≈ 1802.1 m

Therefore, the distance from the starting point to the campground for the first cyclist is approximately 1802.1 m.

Now let's move on to part (b):

The second cyclist starts by traveling 1950 m due north. At the turning point, the second cyclist is perpendicular to the campground from the first cyclist's route. Hence, the first cyclist's route forms the base of a right-angled triangle, and the distance from the turning point to the campground is the height.

Using the Pythagorean theorem again, we can find the length of the height:

Height^2 = Hypotenuse^2 - Base^2

Height^2 = (1802.1 m)^2 - (1950 m)^2

Height^2 = 3,247,440.81 m^2 - 3,802,500 m^2

Height^2 ≈ -555,059.19 m^2

Since the height cannot be a negative value, it means there is an error in the calculations. Please double-check the given lengths or clarify any possible mistakes in the question, such as a typo in the given distances.

If you provide the corrected values, I can help you find the answer to part (b) as well.

a. d^2=X^2 + Y^2=1030^2 + (1950-1480)^2

= 1,281,800
d = 1132 m.

b. Tan A = Y/X = (1950-1480)/1030 =
0.45631
A = 24.5o S. of E.
