A boat drops an anchor 75 feet to the bottom of a lake. A sunken treasure chest lies at the bottom of the lake, 40 feet away fro
m the anchor. What is the distance from the boat to the treasure chest ?
2 answers:
Given
Height (length) of the anchor dropped from the boat = 75 feet
Distance of the treasure from the anchor = 40 feet
Solution
The dropped at the bottom makes an angle of 90 degree . Therefore making an right triangle with the chest and boat
By Pythagoras theorem
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
(AC = distance of the treasure from the boat
AB = height of the anchor dropped from the boat
BC = the distance of treasure from the anchor)
AC^2 = 75^2 + 40^2
AC^2 = 5325 +1600
AC^2 = 6925
AC = 25 * (under root 11)
Therefore they have cover a distance of 25 * (under root 11)

Answer:
x = 1/3 ln(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
e^(3x)+6=8
Subtract 6 from each side
e^(3x)+6-6=8-6
e^(3x) = 2
Take the natural log of each side
ln (e ^3x) = ln (2)
3x = ln(2)
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 1/3 ln(2)
x = 1/3 ln(2)
