The distance of the boat on the right to the finish line is 297.29 m and the distance of the boat on the left to the finish is 294.11 m, so the boat on the left will reach the finish line faster.

<h3>How do you know which boat will reach the finish line faster? </h3>

The image shows two triangles of which we know an angle and the value of the opposite leg. Therefore, we can perform a mathematical operation to know the value of the hypotenuse of these triangles, which would be the distance of the boats to the goal as shown below.

h = hypotenuse

Right Boat

Sen 22° = $\frac{110 m}{h}$

h = $\frac{110 m}{ Sin 22}$

h = $\frac{110 m}{0.37}$

h = 297,29 m

Left boat

Sen 20° = $\frac{100}{h}$

h = $\frac{|00 m}{ Sin 20}$

h = $\frac{100 m}{0.34}$

h = 294,11 m

According to the above, the distance of the boat on the left is less, so it can be inferred that this boat will reach the finish line faster.

A toy jeep is 12 1/2 inches long while an actual jeep measures 18 3/4 feet long. What is the value of the ratio of the length of

mojhsa [17]

<span> A toy jeep is 12 1/2 inches
Actual jeep is 18 ¾ feet long
before we determine the ratio, let’s convert first each size into the same unit of measure and decimal points

=> 12 ½ = 25/2
=> 12.5 inches
=> 18 ¾ = 75/4
=> 18.75 feet
Now, let’s convert feet to inches to know the ratio
=> 1 foot = 12 inches
=> 12.5 inches : 225 inches
=> 225 / 12.5
=> 18 inches
thus in every 1 inch of toy car represents 1.5 feet of actual car.
