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)

Burka [1]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have that t<span>he largest doll is 12 inches tall. The height of each of the other dolls is 7/10 the height of the next larger doll. Therefore, you have:

 We don't know the number of dolls, so:

 x=12(7/10)^(n-1)

 Where x is the height of the doll and n is the number of the doll

 The answer is: </span>x=12(7/10)^(n-1)

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

543.4 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion 1 gallon is 3.8 liters can be used as the rate.

To convert gallons into liters, multiply the numbers of gallons by the rate, 3.8.

143 gallons X 3.8 = 543.4 liters

Therefore 143 gallons is 543.4 liters.

How is the graph of y= (x-1)^2-3 transformed to produce the graph of y= 1/2(x+4)^2?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Original graph

y = (x-1)^2 - 3

Transformed graph

y = 1/2 (x+4)^2

From the original graph:

y = (x-1)^2 - 3

The function is shifted upward 3 units

y = (x-1)^2 -3 +3

y = (x-1)^2

Then the function is shifted 5 units to the left

y = (x-1+5)^2

y= (x+4)^2

The graph will be stretched vertically with a factor of 1/2

y = 1/2 (x+4)^2 ..
