In order to ask me the width of a river, similar triangles can be used as shown in the diagram. Three markers O, C, and E are pl

aced on the upper Bank of the river for me a right triangle. He is on the back of the river and OC is perpendicular to CE. A marker in is placed across the river and cold in here with C & E. Another marker, A is Place downstream on the bank so that see it is perfectly Dacula to in a. If OC is 66 ft, CE is 44 ft, and NA is 93 ft, find the estimated width of the River, and E, in feet.

Answer:

  • NE = 62 ft
  • width = 106 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Speech to text conversion makes this problem almost unintelligible. Ordinary English writing with appropriate math symbols would probably communicate more clearly.

By similar triangles, ...

  NE/NA = CE/CO

  NE/93 = 44/66

  NE = 93·(44/66) = 62 . . . feet

The estimated width of the river is ...

  width = NE + CE = 62 + 44 = 106 . . . . feet

Jane Dimas obtained a single-payment loan of $420 to pay a repair bill. She agreed to repay the loan in 90 days at an interest r
zlopas [31]

Answer: the ordinary interest is $6.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

In calculating ordinary interest, the number of days in a month is considered to be 360 days. We would apply the formula for determining simple interest which is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the loan.

P represents the principal or amount taken as loan

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the loan in years.

From the information given,

P = $420

R = 6.25%

T = 90 days = 90/360 = 0.25 day

I = (420 × 6.25 × 0.25)/100

= $6.5625

The slope of the line passing through the points (7, 5) and (21, 15) is
Rufina [12.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The slope formula is given by

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Let P1(7, 5) and P2(21, 15)

m = (15 - 5)/(21 -7)

= 10/14

= 5/7

b) Let's see if the slope is only a third of the one found in part (a) or m = 5/21. Let P1(0, 0) and P2(21, 5).

m = (5 -0)/(21 - 0)

= 5/21

Indeed, the slope is only a third of part (a), as we predicted.

To get to work Sam jogs 3 kilometers to the train, then rides the remaining 5 kilometers. If the train goes 40 km per hour faste
cupoosta [38]
Let
r = Sam's jogging rate
r+40 = train's rate

The rate refers to a speed of any moving body.
Know first the relationship of distance, time, and rate. The time is the distance divided by the rate.
By analyzing the problem, the time for Sam and the time for train have the total time of 30 minutes or 1/2 hours. Expressing it into an equation yields
t(Sam) + t(train) = 1/2 hours
The distance covered by Sam is 3 km, and the distance covered by train is 5 km. So
3/s + 5/(s+40) = 1/2
Solving for s,
3(s+40) + 5s = (1/2)*(s(s+40))
3s + 120 + 5s = (1/2)s<span>² + 20s
8s + 120 = (1/2)s</span><span>² + 20s
(1/2)s</span><span>² + 12s - 120 = 0

The solution is turned out into a quadratic equation. If you know the quadratic formula, you get for x, for instance the two values of x are
s = 7.59 and s = -31.59

The value s = -31.59 is meaningless. Therefore Sam's jogging rate is 7.59 km/hr.</span>
