Answer:

24.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know if one sailed north and another east, the angle with respect to the port will be 90 degrees

This means that the distance of each ship to the pier can be the legs of a rectangular triangle

The distance of a ship from the other would be represented by the hypotenuse

h: Hipotenuse

c1: leg 1

c2: leg 2

By Pythagoras we know that the hypotenuse is equal to

h = √(c1^2 + c^2)

if we replace with the values ​​we have left

h = √(18^2 + 17^2)

h = √(324 + 289)

h = √613

h = 24.758

we round a decimal place

h = 24.8

Why can't you have a shoe size of 4.5 and a height of 72 inches?
liq [111]

Answer:

Ok, lemme say something.

4.5 shoes are for 9 inch feet.

Dont think a 6 foot person is gonna fit tbh.

Step-by-step explanation:

A shoe size is for relation to feet size. Your feet grow from your height too, along with weight. If you are 6 feet, your feet are gonna be more than at least 1 foot.

4.5 shoes are for 9 inch feet

1 foot = 12 inches.

12 > 9.

12-9=3.

The blades of a windmill turn on an axis that is 40 feet from the ground. The blades are 15 feet long and complete 3 rotations e
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a is the _amplitude_(Length of the blades)_

The vertical shift, k, is the _Mill shaft height_

a = 15\ ft\\\\k = 40\ ft

y = 15sin(\frac{\pi}{10}t) + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem the amplitude of the sinusoidal function is given by the length of the blades.

a = 15\ ft

The mill is 40 feet above the ground, therefore the function must be displaced 40 units up on the y axis. So:

k = 40\ ft

We know that the blades have an angular velocity w = 3 rotations per minute.

One rotation = 2\pi

1 minute = 60 sec.

So:

w = \frac{3(2\pi)}{60}\ rad/s

w = \frac{\pi}{10}\ rad/s

Finally:

a is the _amplitude_(Length of the blades)_

The vertical shift, k, is the _Mill shaft height_

a = 15\ ft\\\\k = 40\ ft

y = 15sin(\frac{\pi}{10}t) + 40

Answer:

Y=5x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

43=5(7)+b Substitute in the ordered pair and solve in parathensis

43=35+b Subtract 35 from both sides

43-35=-35+b Did you subtract?

8=b The variable is 8.

y= 5x+8 Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form
