1 answer:

8 0

The pythagorean theorem is only used for right triangles? however, you can find the equation with the info given. a circle is written as (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2. in this scenario, h=-2, k=5, and r=4.

Your final equation would be (x+2)^2+(y-5)^2=16

A snail climbs to the top of a coconut tree 18 meters high. In an hour it will climb 2 meters. But if it go 2 meters, it will sl

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the snail will climb 2 meters in 1 hour but it will slip down one meter for every 2 meters climbed, then the distance traveled will be:

$d = 2 m - 1 m = 1 m$

Since in 1 hour, it climbs 2 meters minus 1 meter, the time in which the snail will reach the top is:

$t = \frac{1 h}{1 m}*18 m = 18 h$

Therefore, the snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

I hope it helps you!
