Answer 1

The width of the river = 60m and so Zachary will be able to swim the river without getting tired.

What is Proportion ?

When two ratios are equal , the ratio are said to be in proportion.

As given in the question ,

the width of the river has to be determined

Looking at the figure , the triangle formed at the side of the river is a right triangle the hypotenuse will be determined from the Pythagoras theorem

20² +24² = y²

y = 21.2 m

As the corresponding sides are proportional

31.2 : z = 20:50

z = 78.1

The value of the width of the river will be determined by the Pythagoras Theorem

78.1² = 50² + x²

x = 60m

the width of the river = 60m

Therefore Zachary will be able to swim the river without getting tired.
