Answer:
The ship is located at (3,5)
Explanation:
In the first test, the equation of the position was:
5x² - y² = 20 ...........> equation I
In the second test, the equation of the position was:
y² - 2x² = 7 ..............> equation II
This equation can be rewritten as:
y² = 2x² + 7 ............> equation III
Since the ship did not move in the duration between the two tests, therefore, the position of the ship is the same in the two tests which means that:
equation I = equation II
To get the position of the ship, we will simply need to solve equation I and equation II simultaneously and get their solution.
Substitute with equation III in equation I to solve for x as follows:
5x²-y² = 20
5x² - (2x²+7) = 20
5x² - 2y² - 7 = 20
3x² = 27
x² = 9
x = <span>± </span>√9
We are given that the ship lies in the first quadrant. This means that both its x and y coordinates are positive. This means that:
x = √9 = 3
Substitute with x in equation III to get y as follows:
y² = 2x² + 7
y² = 2(3)² + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
y = +√25
y = 5
Based on the above, the position of the ship is (3,5).
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
y = 4 and x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step by step explanation in the pic. Atleast the way I did it.
The volume of the pyramid is 2496 cu.m.
<h3>What is a Pyramid ?</h3>
A pyramid is a three dimensional structure which has a polygon base and in general triangular faces which join at the top .
It is given that
A pyramid 
has a 4 m by 4 m square top
Height = 12 m
Base = 20 m
The volume of a square pyramid with a is given by
V = (1/2) * ( Area of base + Area of ) * height of the from the base
V = 0.5 * ( 20 *20 + 4*4 ) * 12
V = 2496 cu.m
The volume of the pyramid is 2496 cu.m.
