Shontal is at a distance of 13 meters from the launching point

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

Distance of Travis from the launching point  = 12 meters

Distance of Shontal from the launching point = 9 meters

Step 2 :

Let A represent the launching point

B represent the point above the launching point at which the balloon is floating.

C represent the point where Shontal stands on the ground.

The angle made by AB with BC is 90 degrees because the balloon is directly above the launching point

Step 3:

So we have a right angle triangle here, with

AB = 12

BC = 9 and angle ABC = 90 degrees

We need to find out length of  AC

Using the theorem of Pythagoras,

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = 12² + 9² = 144 + 25 = 169 = 13

Step 4 :

Answer :

Shontal stands at a distance of 13 meters from the launching point

A copy machine makes 28 copies per minute. How many copies does it make in 3 minutes and 45 seconds?
lina2011 [118]
<u>Convert minutes and seconds to minutes:</u>
\text{3 mins 45 seconds} \longrightarrow 3 \dfrac{3}{4} \text{mins}


<u>FInd 3 3/4 mins:</u>
\text{1 min} \longrightarrow 28 \text{ copies}

3  \dfrac{3}{4} \text{ min} \longrightarrow 28 \times 3\dfrac{3}{4} \text{ copies}

3  \dfrac{3}{4} \text{ min} \longrightarrow 28 \times \dfrac{15}{4} \text{ copies}

3  \dfrac{3}{4} \text{ min} \longrightarrow 105 \text{ copies}

Answer: It can make 105 copies.
