Does the interquartie range in box and wiskers represent 50% of the data.. and each side of the median in that range 25%?

No, it doesn't, because you have to find the small angle that A makes with C, then add that to the 18.

Do you want me to find A?

Hmm.. maybe it's better I look at the question again.

ii) You can use the cosine rule here.

AC² = AB² + BC² - 2(AB)(BC)CosB
AC² = 300² + 400² - 2(300)(400)Cos 96
AC² = 275086.8312
AC = 524m (nearest m)

iii) Then, since you have AC, you can use the sine rule.

sin 96/524 = sin BCA/400
400 sin 96/524 = sin BCA
BCA = 49 degrees, 24 min (nearest min)

Forgot to find bearing.

Sorry for the long reply. Went to eat.

How did you get blue to equal 49 24' !!?????

ohh yes... i see.. i used the cosine rule because there was 3 sides


kk Thanks.:rolleyes:
