Answer:

A. AB

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the musical instrument has a shape of ∆ABC, we can determine the shortest side that would be parallel to the ground by comparison of the 3 angles of the triangle corresponding to each side that is opposite each of them.

What this means is that, the larger angle would have the largest side opposite it. The medium angle will have medium length side opposite it, while the smallest angle will have the smallest side opposite it.

m < A = 59°

m < C = 57°

m < C = 180 - (59+57) (sum of angles in a triangle)

m < C = 64°

The smallest angle out of the three angles is angle C = 57°.

The side opposite it, is side AB.

Side AB is the shortest side of ∆ABC.

Therefore, AB should be parallel to the ground.

A family of 17 are trying to get back to their island for Christmas when disaster strikes – their ship hits a rock and will sink
wlad13 [49]
Answer: 13

Althoug each round trip takes 9 minutes and can carry 5 people on the boat, you can not just divide the 20 minutes time by 9 and multiply by 5 to find the number of people that are saved without getting wet.

First trip:

5 people take the boat to the island but only 4 can stay, because one has to return with the boat to the ship to rescue other 4 people.

So, when 9 minutes have passed, 4 people are safe on the island and the boat is again by the ship.

Second trip:

In the second trip, other 4 people are rescued,along with "sailor" who returned in the boat to rescue them.

When it has passed 18 minutes, the boat is next to the ship agin to carry other 4 people before the boat sinks.

This is the last trip before the boat sinks. So, the total number of passengers rescued is 4 + 4 +  5 = 13
