<span>The problem says that the distance D to the horizon is directly proportional to the square root of the elevation E of the observer, so:
</span>
The person who is 36 feet above the water ⇒ √36=6
A person 49 feet above the water ⇒ √49=7
<span>
So, by proportions, you have:
(7/6)x7.4= 8.63 miles
Therefore, the answer is: </span><span>a person 49 feet above the water can see 8.63 miles</span><span> </span>
Answer:
p,q,r
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The sides are 3, 4, and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one side be 'n', if the side lengths are consecutive integers, we have
n
n + 1
and
n + 2 are our side lengths. adding 1 to n gives us the next integer. Adding 2 to n gives use the second consecutive integer to n
The perimeter is 12, so our equation is..
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 12
Now combine like terms and solve..
n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 12
3n + 3 = 12
3n = 9 (subtract 3 from both is sides)
n = 3 (divide by 3 on both sides)
Since n = 3,
n + 1 = 4 and
n + 2 = 5
So the sides are 3, 4, and 5
It means it has no rise or run it means it’s 0 on the plot
