7. A pilot is flying from Thunder Bay to Dryden (a distance of 320 km). As the plane leaves
Thunder Bay, it flies 20° off course for 80 km.

a) Draw a labeled diagram of the scenario. (2 marks)

 b) After flying off course, how far is the plane from Dryden? Show your work. (4 marks)

Cosine rule
𝑐𝑐 2 = 𝑎𝑎2 + 𝑏𝑏 2 − 2𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 𝐶𝐶

Sub in variables

𝑡𝑡 2 = 𝑑𝑑2 + 𝑝𝑝2 − 2𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 𝑇𝑇

𝑡𝑡 2 = 802 + 3202 − 2(80)(320) 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 20
𝑡𝑡 2 = 6,400 + 102,400 − 51,200(0.9397)
𝑡𝑡 2 = 108,800 − 48,112.94
√𝑡𝑡 = √60,684.36
𝑡𝑡 = 246.34

Therefore, after flying the place off course the plane is 246.3km away from Dryden Ontario

8. On a merry-go-round, each horse moves up and down. The height of the rider, h(t), in
metres, at time t, in seconds, is given by the equation ℎ (t) = -1.5 cos (6t) + 2

a) What are the maximum and minimum heights of the rider? (2 marks)

a = -1.5 , c = 2

Maximum value
C+a
2 + (-1.5) Therefore, the riders maximum
= 0.5 height will be about 3.5 m
& the minimum height
Minimum value will be about 0.5m
C–a

= 3.5

b) How long does it take the rider to complete one full cycle? (2 marks)
 3600 3600
Period: k=6 = 60
𝑘𝑘 6
Therefore, it will take about 60 secs to complete one full cycle

c) What would be the height of the rider at 15 seconds? (2 marks)

T = 15

ℎ (t) = -1.5 cos (6t) + 2

ℎ (t) = -1.5 cos (6(15)) + 2
ℎ (t) = 2m
Therefore, at 15 seconds the rider’s height will be about 2m
