D - the shortest distance from the ship to the shore.
d / ( 17 - x ) = tan 32° = 0.62487
d / x = tan 53° = 1.32704
d = 0.62487 ( 17 - x )
d = 1.32704 x
0.62487 ( 17 - x ) = 1.32704 x
10.62279 - 0.62487 x = 1.32704 x
x = 10.62279 : 1.95191
x = 5.44226 miles
d = 5.44226 · 1.32704
Answer:
d = 7.222 miles
If you have a question to ask, then what is it ?
I notice that IF AB and DE are parallel, then the two triangles tip to tip at C are similar. That may help you.
The linear model of this case takes the form:
y = a(x-b) + k
<span>The cost of having a package delivered has a base fee of $9.70
this is "k" >>>>> k=9.7 (fixed amount of fee)
THEN
</span>
<span>Every pound over 5 lbs cost an additional $0.46 per pound
that means: 0.46(x-5)
in other words, if the package weighs foe example 9 pounds, then 9-5=4, it will cost 0.46*4 for these 4 extra pounds
Finally we have the linear form of this: C = 0.46 (W - 5) + 9.7
</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is x= 4/5 because you cannot take the root of a negative number
