If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.
Solution:
h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13
The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.
Answer: x= 2.5, y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>I'm going to assume that these photocopies are proportional in relations to each other.</em></u>
If they're proportional, you can set up two proportions:
And cross-multiply:
Then solved for x and y:
Step-by-step explanation:
Objective: Recall the properties.
a) 3+1=4
b) 3+7=7+3
c) 3+(7+4)=7+(3+4)
d). 3(7+4)=(3×7)+(3×4)
