Gilligan sees a ship coming close to the shore he's standing on. He wants to determine the distance (SD) from the ship to the sh

ore. He walks 130 ft along the shore from point D to point C and marks that spot. Then he walks 23 ft further and marks point B. He turns 90°and walks until his location (point A), point C, and point S are collinear. Answer the following questions making sure to show all your work. (a) Can Gilligan conclude that triangle ABC and triangle SDC are similar? Why or why not? (b) Suppose AB = 90 ft. What can Gilligan conclude about the distance of the ship from the shore? Explain.

Answer:

A) Gilligan can conclude that triangle ABC and triangle SDC are similar.

B) He can conclude that the distance is longer than the hypotenuses of the triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) This is because they are the same shape and have proportionate sizes.

B) This is because if AB = 90 feet, he knows that the distance will be about the same length as the hypotenuses of the triangles.

tester [92]

Area of a triangle is 0.5(base x height)

Base = 320mi

Height= 270+210= 480mi

0.5(480 x 320) = 76,800 miles squared

A shipping container will be used to transport several 100-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

12800 + 100x \le 24000

A maximum of 112 number of 100 - kilograms can be loaded in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Weight of each crate = 100 kg

The greatest weight that can be loaded in the container = 24000 kg

Weight already loaded in the container = 12800 kg

To find:

The inequality to determine the value x i.e. number of 100 - kilograms that can be loaded in the shipping container?

Solution:

Weight already loaded = 12800 kg

Let the number of 100 - kilograms that can be loaded in the container = x

Weight of x = 100x kg

This combined weight nor be greater than the capacity of the container.

OR we can say, it must be lesser than or equal to greatest weight that can be loaded into the container.

12800 + 100x \le 24000

100x \le 24000 - 12800\\\Rightarrow 100x \le 11200\\\Rightarrow x \le 112

i.e. a maximum of <em>112</em> number of 100 - kilograms can be loaded in the container.
