Use Pythagorean Theorem
c2 = a2 + b2
152 = a2 + 12
a2 = 152 - 122
=225 - 144 = 81
a = 9 ft
Distance from base of antenna = 9ft
1/3 because reciprocal is the opposite
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
v = the original speed of the cruise
d = 225 km the distance passed
t = d/v = 225/v the total time of the travel
v*1.5 + (v + 10)(d/v - 1.5 - 0.5) = d (using the formula distance = speed*time)
1.5v + (v + 10)(225/v - 2) = 225
