Speed of the ship in the second hour =  (62.5 * x ) / 100  kph.

In third hour it is  [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]

is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again  so we can now form the equation

62.5x      x          x
------- *   ----  *  ----    =  32
100      100      100

62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 =  512,000
x = 80 <-----  Answer  to (a)

(b)  Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then  this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence 

Dist travelled in 6 hours  =  a1  1 - r^n
                                                --------  = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56

                                               1 - r

Answer is    230.56 km

Lines d, e, and f are parallel. That means they have the same slope. Each of these lines has a slope of −3. Enter numbers to com
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Line d : y = -3x - 3

Line e : y = -3x - 2

Line f  : y= -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The slope of each line is -3.

Now,

We know that,

Equation of line is represented by y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Now,

Given that,

Line d goes through (0, - 3) and (- 1, 0).

So,

y-intercept of Line d is -3

∴ we get

Equation of Line d is : y = -3x -3

Now,

Given that,

Line e goes through (-1, 2) and (0, -2).

So,

y-intercept of Line e is -2

∴ we get

Equation of Line e is : y = -3x - 2

Now,

Given that,

Line f goes through (0, 2) and (1, -1).

So,

y-intercept of Line e is 2

∴ we get

Equation of Line f is : y = -3x + 2

A) Work out the size of angle x. b) Give reason for your answer.
enot [183]

A

x=75°

B

We know that ∠EFG=∠ABF because they are corresponding angles.

We also know that ∠x+∠ABF=180, because angles along a straight line always equal 180:

x+105=180

x=75°

Given ∆ABC with vertices A(−4, −3), B(0, 0), C(2, −3) and ∆DEF with vertices D(3, 1), E(6, -3), F(3, −5), use the definition of
dimaraw [331]

By SSS congruency criteria ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF

<h3>What is congruency?</h3>

Two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other.

The given vertices of the triangles are;

ΔABC: A(−4, −3), B(0, 0), C(2, −3)

ΔDEF:  D(3, 1), E(6, -3), F(3, −5)

The lengths of the sides of ΔABC are

AB = √((0+4)² + (0+3)²) = √25 = 5

BC = √((2-0)² + (-3 - 0)²) = √13  

AC = √((2+4)² + (-3 +3)²) = √36 = 6

The lengths of the sides of ΔDEF are;

DE = √25=5

EF = √13

DF = √36 = 6

As,

AB= DE, BC = EF , AC= DF

So, By SSS congruency criteria ΔABC ≅ ΔDEF
