Answer: The sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that a sail boat leaves port and sails 12 kilometers west and then 9 kilometers north.
We are to find the distance between the sailboat from the port in kilometers.
Since the directions west and north are at right-angles, we can visualize the movement of the sailboat in the form of a right-angled triangle as shown in the attached figure.
The sailboat moves leaves the port at P and reach O after sailing 12 km west. From point O, again it moves towards north 9 km and reach the point S.
PS = ?
Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have from right-angled triangle SOP,
Thus, the sailboat is at a distance of 15 km from the port.
add 7 to 27 which equals 34
1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7
2. (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR 3 1/5
3. (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11
4. (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x
Answer:
3 hours and 20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The Radius is the distance from the center outwards. The Diameter goes straight across the circle, through the center. The Circumference is the distance once around the circle.
The formula for calculating the radius is different from calculating the diameter
Find radius
r= diameter/ 2
Radius is half of a diameter
While diameter is
d=2r
