<span>Let us solve the problem using an equation. Let x be the speed of one of the boats. The speed of the other boat will be x + 9. Both the boats have traveled for 6 hours, starting from 12:00 noon to 6:pm The distance they have traveled within 6 hours is 126 miles. The distance traveled by the first boat is x*6 = 6x Miles The distance traveled by the other boat is (x + 9) 6 = 6x + 54 Miles Thus, 6x + 6x + 54 = 126 Miles 12x = 126 - 54 12x = 72 x = 72/12 x = 6 So the speed of one of the boats is 6 miles per hour and the speed of the other boats is 6 + 9 = 15 miles per hour.</span>

Answer:

Q-12 The vertical length of the top part of elevator to ground is 0.8484 meters .

Q -14 The glide runway path is 24,752.47 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Q - 12

Given as :

The diagonal length of the elevator = e = 1.2 meters

The vertical length of the top part of elevator to ground = x meters

The angle made by elevator with ground = Ф = 45°

<u>Now, According to figure</u>

Sin angle = \dfrac{\textrm perpendicular}{\textrm hypotenuse}

Or, Sin Ф = \dfrac{\textrm x}{\textrm e}

Or, Sin 45° =  \dfrac{\textrm x meters}{\textrm 1.2 meters}

Or, 0.707 × 1.2 meters = x

∴ x =  0.8484 meters

So, The vertical length of the top part of elevator to ground = x = 0.8484 meters

Hence,The vertical length of the top part of elevator to ground is 0.8484 meters .  Answer

Q-14

Given as:

The altitude of decent of plane = H = 10,000 feet

The angle of descend =  Ф = 22°

Let the glide runway path = y feet

<u>Now, According to question</u>

Tan angle = \dfrac{\textrm perpendicular}{\textrm base}

Or, Tan Ф = \dfrac{\textrm H}{\textrm y}

Or, Tan 22° =  \dfrac{\textrm  10,000 feet}{\textrm y feet}

Or, 0.4040 =  \dfrac{\textrm  10,000 feet}{\textrm y feet}

Or, y =  \dfrac{\textrm  10,000 feet}{\textrm 0.4040}

∴   y = 24,752.47

So,The glide runway path = y = 24,752.47 feet

Hence, The glide runway path is 24,752.47 feet . Answer

Delaware was the first state to enter the Union and Hawaii was the 50th. If we order the positions of entry for the rest of the
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

State A was the <u>12th</u> state to enter the Union. State B was the <u>11th</u> state to enter the Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x to the order-of-entry of State B, therefore the order-of-entry of State A is x+1. Given that he product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132:

x*(x+1) = 132

x² + x - 132 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 -4(1)(-132)}}{2(1)}

x = \frac{-1 \pm 23}{2}

x_1 = \frac{-1 + 23}{2}

x_1 = 11

x_2 = \frac{-1 - 23}{2}

x_2 = -12

The negative solution has no sense in the context of our problem, then the solution is x = 11.
