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

B is 2 out of 12

c is if you were talking probability then you would have put down one out of 6 because there is one 3 out of 6 sides but i believe i would expect to see two times 34 because it is two time the dice and it gives you the capability to earn three twice as much so you should see it at least 68 times    

HOPE THIS HELPS

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

At 15 weeks they will both weigh 180

Step-by-step explanation:

150 + 2w = 195 - w

2w + w = 195 - 150

3w = 45

w = 45/3

w = 15 <=== they will weigh the same at 15 weeks

150 + 2(15) = 150 + 30 = 180...and they will both weigh 180 lbs

I hope this helps you :)
