Answer:

Both the boats will closet together at 2:21:36 pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that - At 2 pm boat 1 leaves dock and heads south and boat 2 heads east towards the dock. Assume the dock is at origin (0,0).

Speed of boat 1 is 20 km/h so the position of boat 1 at any time (0,-20t),

        Formula :   d=v*t

at 2 pm boat 2 was 15 km due west of the dock because it took the boat 1 hour to reach there at 15 km/h, so the position of boat 2 at that time was (-15,0)

the position of boat 2 is changing towards east, so the position of boat 2 at any time (-15+15t,0)

      Formula : D=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

⇒                     D = \sqrt{20^2t^2+15(t-1)^2}

Now let           F(t) = D^2(t)

                ∵    F'(t) = 800t + 450(t-1) =  1250t -450\\F'(t) =0

⇒                     t= 450/1250

⇒                     t= .36 hours

⇒                       = 21 min 36 sec

Since F"(t)=0,

∴ This time gives us a minimum.

Thus, The two boats will closet together at 2:21:36 pm.

A quadrilateral has exactly one right angle and two nonadjacent angles that each measure 105 degrees
LiRa [457]

Answer:

C) Kite

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that the polygon is a quadrilateral, meaning it has 4 sides. This rules out D, as pentagons have 5 sides. Our next clue is that this shape has <em>only one </em>right angle, ruling out A and B, because, by definition, rectangles and squares must have four 90 degree angles. We can already see that we are left with only one choice, but to confirm: a kite has 2 opposite angles of 105 degrees, like the problem states.

Therefore, the answer is C) Kite

Hope this helps!
