Answer:

32 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance across the river is give as x and we are interested in finding the value of x.

Both the triangles are similar by AA Postulate.

Therefore,

20/x = 10/16 (by c.s.s.t.)

2/x = 1/16

x = 16*2

x = 32 m

From base camp, a hiker walks 3.5 miles west and 1.5 miles north. Another hiker walks 2 miles east and 0.5 miles south. To the n
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O represents the base camp,

Suppose after walking 3.5 miles west, first hiker's position is A, then after going 1.5 miles north from A his final position is B,

Similarly, after walking 2 miles east, second hiker's position is C then going towards 0.5 miles south his final position is D.

By making the diagram of this situation,

Let D' is the point in the line AB,

Such that, AD' = CD

In triangle BD'D,

BD' = AB + AD' = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 miles,

DD' = AC = AO + OC = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5 miles,

By Pythagoras theorem,

BD^2 = BD'^2 + DD'^2

BD = \sqrt{2^2 + 5.5^2}=\sqrt{4+30.25}=\sqrt{34.25}\approx 5.9

Hence, the hikers are 5.9 miles apart.

geniusboy [140]

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the ratio into a fraction

2in /25 mi

You want to have miles so you can flip the fraction and mutiply to cancel out the inches

(25mi / 2in) x 5in = (25 mi x 5in) / 2in
