Answer:

A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side of the right triangle is the hypotenuse and it is √61 units. The other legs of the triangle is x unit and (x + 1) units.

From Pythagoras theorem for right angle triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the other sides of the triangle. This implies that:

(√61)² = (x)² + (x + 1)²

x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 61

2x² + 2x + 1 - 61 = 0

2x² + 2x -60 = 0

Dividing through by 2 gives:

x² + x - 30 = 0

x² + 6x - 5x - 30 = 0

x(x + 6) -5(x + 6) = 0

(x-5)(x+6) = 0

x-5 = 0 or x+6 = 0

x = 5 or x = -6

Since the length of a side cannot be negative, x = 5 units

Andrea was watching her brother in the ocean and noticed that the waves were coming into the beach at a frequency of 0.367347 Hz
anygoal [31]

Answer:

<u>18 waves</u> hit the beach in 49 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The frequency of the waves that were coming into the beach is 0.367347 Hz.

Now, to find the number of waves that hit the beach in 49 s.

Let the number of waves be n.

The frequency of waves (f) = 0.367347 Hz.

The time it takes to hit the beach (t) = 49 s.

Now, we put formula to get the number of waves:

f=\frac{n}{t} \\\\0.367347=\frac{n}{49} \\\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 49\ we\ get:\\\\18.000003=n\\\\n=18.000003.

<u><em>The number of waves = 18.</em></u>

Therefore, 18 waves hit the beach in 49 s.
