Answer:
7.65 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance that diver will travel.
We have been given that a scuba diver is exploring at an elevation of -12.2 meters. As the diver rises to the surface, she plans to stop and rest briefly at a reef that has an elevation of -4.55 meters. We are asked to find the distance that diver will travel.
The initial elevation plus x will be equal to -4.55 meters. We can represent our given information in an equation as:
Therefore, the scuba diver will travel a vertical distance of 7.65 meters.
The answer is 4.75099138998831 to the 27th. :)
Answer:
AH = 1 or 4
CH = 4 or 1
Step-by-step explanation:
An altitude divides a right triangle into similar triangles. That means the sides are in proportion, so ...
AH/BH = BH/CH
AH·CH = BH²
The problem statement tells us AH + CH = AC = 5, so we can write
AH·(5 -AH) = BH²
AH·(5 -AH) = 2² = 4
This gives us the quadratic ...
AH² -5AH +4 = 0 . . . . in standard form
(AH -4)(AH -1) = 0 . . . . factored
This equation has solutions AH = 1 or 4, the values of AH that make the factors be zero. Then CH = 5-AH = 4 or 1.
