Answer:
28 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The top angle in the triangle = 90° - 62° = 28°
Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle
cos28° =
= 
cross- multiply
x × cos28° = 25 ( divide both sides by cos28° )
x =
= 28.31425... ≈ 28 m
Thus the distance from the top to the crocodile is 28 m
Answer:
≈ 6.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = C(5, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(7, 3)
d = √ (7 - 5)² + (3 + 5)²
= √ 2² + 8² = √ 4 + 64 = √68 ≈ 6.16 ( to 2 dec. places )
Answer:
<em>24 children</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of time, y hours, it takes to put a jigsaw puzzle together is inversely proportional to the number of children, x, this is represented as;

k is the constant of proportionality
If it takes 16 children 6 hours to put the jigsaw puzzle together, this means at x = 16, y = 6
Substitute:
6 = k/16
k = 6*16
k = 96
W are to find number of children needed to put the same jigsaw puzzle together in 4 hours, this is done by substituting k = 96 and y = 4 into the expression y = k/x
y = 96/4
y = 24
<em>Hence it will take 24 children to put the same jigsaw puzzle together in 4 hours</em>
<em></em>
That means they have a common denominator. Hope this helps!
10 4 , so basically you cross multiply : 10x=20 .... 20 divided by 10 is 2 . x=2
___ = ___
5 x
