Answer: It is about 23 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's call <em>x</em> the height of the mast.
2. You know that the rope is attached to a point 6 feet from the base of the mast and the rope is 24 feet long, therefore, you can draw the right triangle shown in the figure attached.
3. To calculate <em>x</em>, you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem as you can see below:
≈ 
Answer:
S = v1 t1 = 7 t1 traveling downstream
S = v2 t2 = 5 t2 traveling upstream
7 t1 = 5 t2
7 (6 - t2) = 5 t2 since t1 + t2 = 6
42 - 7 t2 = 5 t2
t2 = 42 / 12 = 3.5 hrs so t1 = 2.5 hrs
S = 7 t1 = 7 * 2.5 = 17.5 mi
Also, S = 5 t2 = 5 * 3.5 = 17.5 mi
Answer:
160 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a triangle is ...
A = 1/2bh . . . . base length b, height h
Here, the triangle has a base length of 32 in, and a height of 10 in. Its area is ...
A = 1/2(32 in)(10 in) = 160 in²
(4^2)^8 would be the answer 4^2=16 and 16^8 is the same thing
