Answer:

The two boats are 323.72 m apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

B is the point of observation and AB is the height of the parasailer i.e. 75 m.

Now, from the right triangle Δ ABC,

\tan 79^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{75}{AC}

⇒ AC = 14.58 meters.

Again, from the right triangle Δ ABD,

\tan 12.5^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{75}{AD}

⇒ AD = 338.30 meters.

Hence, CD = AD - AC = 338.30 - 14.58 = 323.72 m

Therefore, the two boats are 323.72 m apart. (Answer)

Find the surface area of the following figure with the given dimension
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The surface area is 54 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached figure

Required

The surface area

This is calculated as:

SA = 2(LW + LH + HW)

Where

L = Length\\ W = Width\\ H = Height\\

So,

SA = 2  * (3 * 3 + 3 * 3 + 3 * 3)

SA = 54

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

She sells 4 loaves of key lime bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Extracting the key information from the question:

*** A baker uses 13 1/2 cups of flour to make key lime bread

*** She uses 2 1/4 cups to make each loaf.

*** She sells 2/3 of the loaves of bread that she makes.

Now, since she uses 2 1/4 to make each loaf, we will convert this into improper fraction.

2 1/4 = [(4×2)+1]/4 = 9/4

She uses a total of 13 1/2 cups of flour to make all loaves.

To find the number of loaves she makes, we will divide the overall quantity of flour used by the quantity used to make a loaf

13 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4

Since 13 1/2 and 2 1/4 are the same as 27/2 and 9/4 respectively (mixed to improper fractions), we will then divide 27/2 by 9/4

= 27/2 × 4/9 = 6 loaves (total bread she makes).

Again, we learnt she sells 2/3 of the total loaves she makes.

Since total = 6, then 2/3 of 6 is:

2/3 × 6 = 4 loaves .

Therefore, the baker sells 4 loaves of key lime bread.

How to multiply a matrices 3x3 by 3x2
lesya692 [45]
The top row of matrix A (1, 2, 1) is multiplied with the first column of matrix B (1,0,-1) and the result is 1x1 + 2x0 + 1x -1 = 0 this is row 1 column 1 of the resultant matrix
The top row of matrix A (1,2,1) is multiplied with the second column of matrix B (-1, -1, 1) and the result is 1 x-1 + 2 x -1 + 1 x 1 = -2 , this is row 1 column 2 of the resultant matrix
Repeat with the second row of matrix A (-1,-1.-2) x (1,0,-1) = 1 this is row 2 column 1 of the resultant matrix, multiply the second row of A (-1,-1,-2) x (-1,-1,1) = 0, this is row 2 column 2 of the resultant
Repeat with the third row of matrix A( -1,1,-2) x (1,0, -1) = 1, this is row 3 column 1 of the resultant
the third row of A (-1,1,-2) x( -1,-1,1) = -2, this is row 3 column 2 of the resultant matrix

Matrix AB ( 0,-2/1,0/1,-2)
