Answer:

0.395 kilometre

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On Martin's first stroke, his golf ball traveled 4/5 of the distance to the hole.

On his second stroke, the ball traveled 79 meters and went into the hole.

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many kilometres from the hole was Martin when he started?

<u>Solution:</u>

Let distance from Martin starting point to the hole in meters = x

On Martin's first stroke, ball traveled = \frac{4}{5} \ of \ total \ distance\ to\ the\ hole

                                                             =\frac{4}{5} \times x=\frac{4x}{5}

On his second stroke, the ball traveled and went to the hole = 79 meters

Total distance from starting point to the hole = Ball traveled from first stroke + Ball traveled from second stroke

x=\frac{4x}{5} +79\\ \\ Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by \ \frac{4x}{5}\\ \\ x- \frac{4x}{5}= \frac{4x}{5}- \frac{4x}{5}+79\\ \\ \frac{5x-4x}{5} =79\\ \\ By \ cross\ multiplication\\ \\ x=79\times5\\ \\ x=395\ meters

Now, convert it into kilometre:

1000 meter = 1 km

1 meter = \frac{1}{1000}

395 meters = \frac{1}{1000}\times395=0.395\ kilometre

Thus, there are 0.395 kilometre distance from Martin starting point to the hole.

A rectangular pool is 6 meters wide and 8 meters long. If you swim diagonally across the pool, how many meters would you be swim
Vitek1552 [10]

If you swim diagonally across the rectangular pool, the distance you swim is 10 meters.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Width of rectangle = 6 meters
  • Length of rectangle = 8 meters

To determine the distance you swim in meters, we would apply Pythagorean's theorem since the width is along the x-axis while the length is along the y-axis.

Note: The diagonal side of the rectangular pool represents the hypotenuse.

Mathematically, Pythagorean's theorem is given by the formula:

Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Hypotenuse^2 = 6^2 + 8^2\\\\Hypotenuse^2 = 36+64\\\\Hypotenuse^2 = 100\\\\Hypotenuse = \sqrt{100}

Hypotenuse = 10 meters.
