15/10 = 18-x/x is the ratio of the larger to the smaller triangle
Cross multiply:
15x = 10(18 - x)
15x = 180 - 10x
25x = 180
x = 7.2
Plug back in to check
15/10 = 1.5
18-7.2/7.2 = 10.8/7.2 = 1.5 :)
3 right and up 13 AKA 3/13
Answer:
88.02 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle with the horizontal, θ =25°
Initial velocity, v = 60 mph
1 mph = 1.467 ft/s
60 mph = 60 × 1.467 ft/s = 88.02 ft/s
Vertical component, v sin θ = 88.02 sin 25° = 37.2 ft/s
Horizontal component, v cos θ = 88.02 cos 25°= 79.8 ft/s
