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)

Help its lateee and i suck at this
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1.  Identify the problem: Packaging boxes use too much material and create waste

2. What are the equations for the volume and surface area of a cube and rectangular prism?

Volume of a cube: Vcube = L x L x L = L3

Surface area of a cube: SAcube = 6 x (L x L) = 6L2

Volume of a rectangular prism: VRP = L x W x H = LWH

Surface area of a rectangular prism: SARP = 2 x (L x W) + 2 x (L x H) + 2 x (W x H) = 2(LW + LH + WH)

3. What is the difference in surface area of the packages below? (Note that they have the same volume.)

SAcube = 6L2

= 6 (20 cm)2

= 2,400 cm2

SARP = 2(LW + LH + WH) = 2 (20cm x 10cm + 20cm x 40cm + 10cm x 40cm) = 2,800 cm2

SARP – SAcube = 2,800 cm2

– 2,400cm2

= 400 cm

Answer:

l:9

p:16.4

Step-by-step explanation:

l x w = A

A÷w=l

37.8÷4.4=9

2l+2w=P

18+8.4=16.4
