Answer:

  726 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Object height and shadow length are proportional, so you have ...

  (object height)/(shadow length) = (18 ft)/(72 ft) = (dam height)/(2904 ft)

Then the dam height is ...

  dam height = (2904 ft)(18/72) = 726 ft

Hoover Dam is 726 feet high.

In 1905 the Colorado River flooded parts of Nevada. It ruined crops, roads, and buildings. Water covered the land for an entire year. To stop the flooding, the construction of the Hoover Dam began. The dam controlled the river and brought water to the cities. It was completed in 1935. It took 5,000 workers and 5 years to build. Hoover Dam is 1,244 feet long and 726 feet high.

The Pythagorean Theorem is useful for two-dimensional navigation. You can use it and two lengths to find the shortest distance. … The distances north and west will be the two legs of the triangle, and the shortest line connecting them will be the diagonal. The same principles can be used for air navigation.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

t_a = 7 s

t_w = 5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The average speed in air v_a = 16 m/s

- The average speed in water v_w = 3 m/s

- The total distance D = 127 m

- The total time T = 12 s

Find:

How long did the stone fall in air and how long did it fall in the water?

Solution:

- Lets time taken by stone to drop through air as t_a = t_a.

- The time taken in water would be t_w = (12 - t_a)

- The total distance covered can be calculated as:

                            D = v_a*t_a+ v_w*(12 - t_a)

                            127 = 16*t_a + 3*(12 - t_a)

Simplify and solve for t:

                            91 = 16*t_a - 3t_a

                            13*t_a = 91

                            t_a = 7 s

                            t_w = 5 s
