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.

I need help with this​
OLga [1]

Answer:

121

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles inside a triangle is always 180. The missing angle in the triangle must then be 180 -74 -47 = 59 degrees. The angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees so x + 59 = 180. x = 180-59 = 121
