Answer:
9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
you divide the 715 miles by 13 hours then take the quotient of that (55) and divide the 495 miles by 55 which gets you to your answer, 9.
Answer:
15.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
Comparing the shortest sides, that is
10 : 6 = 5 : 3
let the longest side be x, then using proportion
= 
( cross- multiply )
5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 15.6
The longest side is 15.6 ft
This is a pretty bad question but I think the answer they're looking for is
angle
circle
line segment
We define arcs in terms of circles and parallel lines in terms of lines (though not necessarily line segments, so this is a bit of a judgement call).
16:30 = 30:x
16x = 900
x = 56.25
so C. is the closest answer
this solution is also know as the geometric mean of the altitude of a right triangle to the parts of the hypotenuse.
