You need to find the width of the stream. You cannot measure the width directly, so you draw a diagram showing lengths that you

can measure. Your diagram contains two similar triangles, one in the stream and one on land. Use the diagram to find the width of the stream.

I believe it is a) 22.4 feet.  I looked at the comparison between the 6 feet and the width of the lake and a) seemed to make the most sense.

You are given that the diagram contains two similar triangles.

Two similar triangles have proportional sizes of corresponding sides.

Then the ratio between smaller legs is the same as the ratio between greater legs:

\dfrac{x}{6}= \dfrac{28}{7.5},\\ \\x=\dfrac{28\cdot 6}{7.5}=22.4\ ft.

Answer: correct choice is A.

A plane flies at a steady rate of 40 mph while a second plane flies at a steady rate of 100 mph. The planes are 200 miles apart
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

1\ \text{hour}\ 25\ \text{minutes and }12\ \text{seconds}

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined distance that both planes will cover is 200 miles

Time taken by both planes will be the same (t)

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

So, the combined distance is

40t+100t=200\\\Rightarrow 140t=200\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{200}{140}\\\Rightarrow t=1.42\ \text{hours}=1\ \text{hour}\ 25\ \text{minutes and }12\ \text{seconds}

They will meet in 1\ \text{hour}\ 25\ \text{minutes and }12\ \text{seconds}.
