Given:
100m = distance
120s = time
Asked:
Speed = ?
Formula:
Speed = d/t
Solution:
Speed = 100m/120s
Speed = 0.83333333333
Speed = 0.83m/s
Final Answer:
The speed of the sailboat is 0.83m/s
Answer: See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean Theorem is a²+b²=c². Since each problem gives us the length of a, b, or c, we can directly plug them into this equation and solve.
Triangle EFG
9²+b²=41²
81+b²=1681
b²=1600
b=√1600
b=40
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triangle PQR
20²+21²=c²
400+441=c²
c²=841
c=√841
c=29
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Triangle XYZ
a²+24²=25²
a²+576=625
a²=49
a=√49
a=7
First, convert 5 hours into minutes:
5 hours 60 min
------------ * --------------- = 300 min
1 1 hr
Next, find the unit rate in m/min:
9673.6 m
--------------- = 32.24 m/min
300 min
Now find the distance you can walk in 70 minutes at this rate:
32.24 m
------------- * 70 min = 2247 meters (answer)
1 min
You could walk 2247 meters (to the nearest meter) in 70 minutes.
