Answer:

13.29 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The two shorter sides of a right triangle have lengths of 9.88 meters and 2.69 meters

Two shorter sides are the base and the height of the right angle triangle

Area of the triangle is 1/2 times base times height

$area= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 9.88 \cdot 2.69$

Area of the triangle is 13.2886

13.29 square meters

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a$

Equation:

$y=ax^2 -2ax+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1$

Solve:

$c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}$

Parabola equation:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}$

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0$

Equation:

$y=ax^2+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1$

Solve:

$a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7$

Parabola equation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7$

System of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

zepelin [54]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{11 km/h}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The situation after 15 min:

(a) Distance travelled by simulated biker:

15 min =¼ h

$\text{Distance} = \dfrac{1}{4}\text{ h} \times \dfrac{\text{20 km}}{\text{1 h}} = \text{5 km}$

(b) Distance travelled by Julian

Julian is 2¼ km behind the biker. The distance he has travelled is (5 - 2¼) km

5 - 2¼ = 5 - ⁹/₄ = ²⁰/₄ - ⁹/₄ = ¹¹/₄ = 2¾

Julian has travelled 2¾ km in ¼ h.

2. Julian's average speed

$\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{2\frac{3}{4}\text{ km}}{\frac{1}{4}\text{ h}} =\dfrac{11}{4}\text{ km}\times \dfrac{4}{\text{1 h}} = \textbf{11 km/h}\\\\\text{Julian's average speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{11 km/h}}$}$
