Answer:

41.14 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Cat is a high speed catamaran auto feery that operates between city A and city B.

Cat travel distance in trip =144 miles

Time taken by Cat in trip=2 and one half hours= $2+1\frac{1}{2}=2+\frac{3}{2}=2+1.5=3.5 hours$

We know that speed= $\frac{Total\;distance}{time\;taken}$

Substitute the value in the given formula

Then, we get speed of Cat= $\frac{144}{3.5}=41.14 mph$

Hence, the speed of Cat=41.14 mph

The catamaran speed for this trip is $\boxed{57.6{\text{ miles/hour}}}.$

Further explanation:

The relationship between speed, distance and time can be expressed as follows,

$\boxed{{\text{Speed}} = \frac{{{\text{Distance}}}}{{{\text{Time}}}}}$

Given:

The distance covered by the catamaran is $144{\text{ miles}}.$

The time taken to travel is 2 and one half hours.

Explanation:

Consider the speed of catamaran for this trip as $S{\text{ miles/hours}}.$

The distance between the city A and city B is $144{\text{ miles}}.$

The time taken to travel is 2 and one half hours.

The time taken by the Cat can be expressed as follows,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Time}} &= 2 + \frac{1}{2}\\&= 2 + 0.5\\&= 2.5\\\end{aligned}$

The speed can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Speed}} &= \frac{{144}}{{2.5}}\\&= \frac{{1440}}{{25}}\\&= 57.6{\text{ miles/hour}}\\\end{aligned}$

The catamaran speed for this trip is $\boxed{57.6{\text{ miles/hour}}}.$

Two lighthouses are located 75 miles from one another on a north-south line. If a boat is spotted S 40o E from the northern ligh

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The northern lighthouse is approximately $24.4\; \rm mi$ closer to the boat than the southern lighthouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached. Denote the northern lighthouse as $\rm N$ , the southern lighthouse as $\rm S$ , and the boat as $\rm B$ . These three points would form a triangle.

It is given that two of the angles of this triangle measure $40^{\circ}$ (northern lighthouse, $\angle {\rm N}$ ) and $21^{\circ}$ (southern lighthouse $\angle {\rm S}$ ), respectively. The three angles of any triangle add up to $180^{\circ}$ . Therefore, the third angle of this triangle would measure $180^{\circ} - (40^{\circ} + 21^{\circ}) = 119^{\circ}$ (boat $\angle {\rm B}$ .)

It is also given that the length between the two lighthouses (length of $\rm NS$ ) is $75\; \rm mi$ .

By the law of sine, the length of a side in a given triangle would be proportional to the angle opposite to that side. For example, in the triangle in this question, $\angle {\rm B}$ is opposite to side $\rm NS$ , whereas $\angle {\rm S}$ is opposite to side ${\rm NB}$ . Therefore:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{\text{length of NS}}{\sin(\angle {\rm B})} = \frac{\text{length of NB}}{\sin(\angle {\rm S})} \end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the known measurements:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{75\; \rm mi}{\sin(119^{\circ})} = \frac{\text{length of NB}}{\sin(21^{\circ})} \end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange and solve for the length of $\rm NB$ :

$\begin{aligned} & \text{length of NB} \\ =\; & (75\; \rm mi) \times \frac{\sin(21^{\circ})}{\sin(119^{\circ})} \\ \approx\; & 30.73\; \rm mi\end{aligned}$ .

(Round to at least one more decimal places than the values in the choices.)

Likewise, with $\angle {\rm N}$ is opposite to side ${\rm SB}$ , the following would also hold:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{\text{length of NS}}{\sin(\angle {\rm B})} = \frac{\text{length of SB}}{\sin(\angle {\rm N})} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} \frac{75\; \rm mi}{\sin(119^{\circ})} = \frac{\text{length of SB}}{\sin(40^{\circ})} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned} & \text{length of SB} \\ =\; & (75\; \rm mi) \times \frac{\sin(40^{\circ})}{\sin(119^{\circ})} \\ \approx\; & 55.12\; \rm mi\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the distance between the northern lighthouse and the boat is approximately $30.73\; \rm mi$ , whereas the distance between the southern lighthouse and the boat is approximately $55.12\; \rm mi$ . Hence the conclusion.

What is the value of y in the parallelogram below?<br> G<br> 108<br> 3y<br> D<br> E

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary, sum to 180° , so

3y + 108 = 180 ( subtract 108 from both sides )

3y = 72 ( divide both sides by 3 )

y = 24 → C

The diameter of a circle is 1.4 centimeters. Find its area. Use 3.14 Round to the nearest

NeTakaya

Answer:

Area = 1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = π $r^{2}$

π = 3.14

diameter = 1.4

radius (half of diameter) = 0.7

Area = 3.14 x $0.7^{2}$

Area = 3.14 x 0.49

Area = 1.5386

round to the nearest hundredth:

1.5386 = 1.54
