Ninth grade math problem (about typhoon meeting)
(1) The route of the typhoon is a straight line BA, so to speak.

steamboat

For point C, when the ship sails from west to east, the ship is closest to the typhoon center.

distance

It is the length of AC.

When the typhoon center moves to A, the time taken is

100 ÷ 40 = 2.5h At this time, the shortest distance between the ship and the typhoon center AC = 20× 2.5 = 50 < 20 √ 10.

therefore

Ships will encounter typhoons.

Suppose the first time a ship encounters a typhoon is t, the ship sails to C, and the typhoon travels to E on the AB line. Then AC=20t, BE=40t, CE=20√ 10.

From the Pythagorean theorem, it is concluded that

(20t)^+( 100-40t)^=(20√ 10)^

therefore

t= 1

or

t=3

because

When t=3, 40t = 120 > 100, which is inconsistent.

Title meaning

Give it up.

therefore

When the ship encounters a typhoon for the first time, when the ship sails 1 hour.

(2) The crossing point D is north of DF⊥.

direction indicator

, then

AF= 1/2

AD= 1/2

×60=30 nautical miles, DF=30√3 nautical miles.

because

Ad = 60 < 20 √ 10, so

When the typhoon reaches A, D is affected by the typhoon.

Suppose that the place where D was first affected by the typhoon was G, that is,

DG=20√ 10

therefore

fg^=dg^-df^=(20√ 10)^-(30√3)^= 1300

therefore

FG = 10√ 13≈ 10×3.6 = 36

rule

BG=BF-FG= 100+30-36=94

therefore

The time for the typhoon to reach G is 94÷40=2.35.

time

therefore

Ship speed: 60÷2.35≈26 knots.
