The square's side length is 24/7 or 3.428 units if the square is inscribed in a right triangle with leg lengths 6 and 8 such that they have a common right angle.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.

First we have to find the line that goes through the points (0, 6) and (8, 0)

(y - 0) = (0-6)/(8-0)(x-8)

y = (-6/8)[x - 8]

Plug y = x

x = (-6/8)[x - 8]

After solving:

x = 24/7 or 3.428

y = 24/7 or 3.428

Thus, the square's side length is 24/7 or 3.428 units if the square is inscribed in a right triangle with leg lengths 6 and 8 such that they have a common right angle.

A balloon is rising at a constant speed of 5 ftys. A boy is cycling along a straight road at a speed of 15 ftys. When he passes
Ket [755]

Answer:

  13 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

t seconds after the boy passes under the balloon the distance between them is ...

  d = √((15t)² +(45+5t)²) = √(250t² +450t +2025)

The rate of change of d with respect to t is ...

  dd/dt = (500t +450)/(2√(250t² +450t +2025)) = (50t +45)/√(10t² +18t +81)

At t=3, this derivative evaluates to ...

  dd/dt = (50·3 +45)/√(90+54+81) = 195/15 = 13

The distance between the boy and the balloon is increasing at the rate of 13 ft per second.

_____

The boy is moving horizontally at 15 ft/s, so his position relative to the spot under the balloon is 15t feet after t seconds.

The balloon starts at 45 feet above the boy and is moving upward at 5 ft/s, so its vertical distance from the spot under the balloon is 45+5t feet after t seconds.

The straight-line distance between the boy and the balloon is found as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 15t and (45+5t). Using the Pythagorean theorem, that distance is ...

  d = √((15t)² + (45+5t)²)
