Since the motor boat left the dock 2 hours before the tour boat, their meeting point will be 27 miles from the dock from which both boats departed after 3 hours.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is the movement of an object regardless of direction. The distance can be defined as the amount of length an object has covered, regardless of its starting or ending position

We know that r × t = d

r = rate of speed

t = time

d = distance

For the motor boat

9 × t = d = rate × time

For the tour boat

27 × (t - 2) = d = rate × time

When they both cover the same distance in the same amount of time, they will eventually cross paths.

They both cover the same d-mile distance, so:

9 ×t = 27 × (t - 2)

Simplify to get:

9 × t = 27 × t - 54

18 t = 54

t = 3

The motor boat will have traveled at 9 mph for 3 hours to make a distance of 9 × 3 = 27 miles.

The tour boat will have traveled at 27 mph for 1 hour to make a distance of 1 × 27 = 27 miles.

Since the motor boat left the dock 2 hours before the tour boat, their meeting point will be 27 miles from the dock from which both boats departed after 3 hours.

Pls helps fast!!
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a triangle ABC and EDC please look at the figure

We can see that AE and BD are transversal therefore, ∠EAB=∠AED being alternate interior angles

And ∠ACB=∠DCE are vertically opposite angles hence, equal

So, by AA similarity postulate the above to triangles are similar

ΔABC \sim ΔEDC

Therefore, Option B is correct that is Triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDC , because m∠3 = m∠4 and m∠1 = m∠5

NOTE: m∠3 = m∠4 corresponds to m∠ACB=m∠DCE

And m∠1 = m∠5 corresponds to m∠EAB=m∠AED
