The distance between the bottom of the lighthouse and the boat is 77.6m.

<h3>What is the distance between the bottom of the lighthouse and the boat?</h3>

The lighthouse and the boat would form a right triangle. The height would be the height of the lighthouse. The distance between the top of the lighthouse and boat would be the hypotenuse. The distance between the bottom of the lighthouse and the boat would be the base.

In order to determine the required distance, Pythagoras theorem would be used.

The Pythagoras theorem: a² + b² = c²

where:
a = length
b = base
c = hypotenuse

125² = 98² + b²

b² = 125² - 98²

b = √(25² - 98² )

b = 77.6m

7 points!!!! hep help help 2. When you are converting a decimal to a fraction, how do you know what to use as the denominator?

vitfil [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Check to see if there is a number before (to the left of) the decimal. If there is, this number is the whole number of the fraction. So, 3 is the whole number. Place the number that falls after (to the right of) the decimal in the numerator; then use the decimal placement to determine the denominator.

Emma is carpeting 2 perfectly square rooms.

ivolga24 [154]

She's wrong. If you have two squares, $S_1$ with side $s_1$ and $S_2$ with side $s_2$ , it's not true that the sum of their areas is equivalent to the area of a square $S_3$ with side $s_3=s_1+s_2$ .

So, there's no point in summing the two sides. Instead, you have to compute the areas of the two squares and then sum them up.

So, the area of the first square is $2.7^2$ , and the area of the second square is $3.3^2$ .

Add these two numbers and you'll get how many squared meters of carpet she'll need.
