We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
The maximum speed of a boat at 30 feet length of water is 0.093 nautical miles/hour or knots.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- The equation for the maximum speed, s is given by s²= (16/9)x
- where, x is the length of the water line in feet.
It is given that, the modeled equation s²= (16/9)x is used to find the maximum speed in knots or nautical miles per hour.
The question is asked to find the maximum speed when the length of the water is 30 feet.
Therefore, to find the maximum speed in 30 feet water, the given modeled equation is used. So, substitute the 30 feet in place of x.
<u>Now, calculating the maximum speed :</u>
s² = (16/9)(30)
s² = 480 / 9
s² = 53.3
Taking square root on both sides,
s = √53.3
s = 7.3
The maximum speed of a boat at 30 feet length of water is 7.3 nautical miles/hour or knots.
Answer:
The answer for y=2x−2 is x=y/2+1
Step-by-step explanation:
180/12= 15
1400+15= 1415.00
The rent would be $1415.00 a month the 5th year.
Let x equal the width. Since the length of the base is 96 yards, multiply that times 2 for 192. Then using the parameter formula 2w+2b=P, you get 2x+192=356. Subtract both sides by 192, then divide by 2.
