Answer:

Width of river = 0.25 mile

As length of river is not given , but it is given that  campsite is located 1 mile east upstream, So length of river = 1 mile

Speed of mine in river while going upstream = 3 miles per hour

Speed of current as going Upstream = 1 miles per hour

Now Reduced speed of mine = Speed of mine in river while going upstream - Speed of current as going Upstream

                                              = 3 - 1

                                              = 2 miles per hour

1. There are two ways to reach campsite

(a) either walk 1 mile from starting point in east direction and then swim 0.25 mile in North direction to reach campsite.

Or

(b) From the starting point Considering a right triangle having, base=1 mile and altitude = 0.25 mile, then finding the length of hypotenuse using formula = \sqrt{(altitude)^2 + (Base)^2

=\sqrt{.25^2+1^2}

=√1.0625

=1.03078(approx)

⇒ you must walk a distance of 1 mile in the east direction and then swim 0.25 mile north direction to reach directly at campsite.[shown in the diagram]

Using PYTHAGORAS THEOREM answer the question A vertical pillar ab bent at c at a height of 2.4m and its upper end b touches the
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

  5.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship between the various lengths is ...

  cd² = ac² +ad²

  cd² = (2.4 m)² + (1.8 m)² = 9.00 m²

  cd = √(9.00 m²) = 3.0 m

Since cd = cb and ab = ac+cb, we have ...

  ab = 2.4 m + 3.0 m = 5.4 m

_____

You may recognize this as a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 0.6. We are asked for the sum of the lengths of the "4" and "5" legs, which is ...

  0.6·(4+5) = 5.4
