Answer:
The ships are 66 meters apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the sake of convenience, let us label ships A and B
As shown in the figure, the distances to the ships from right triangles.
The distance to the ship A is and it is given by
And the distance to the ship B is and is given by
Therefore, the distance between the ships A and B is
In other words, the ships are 66 meters apart.
The length of both rooms is 10 meters and the width for the kitchen is 5 meters, while the one for the dining room is 9 meters.
<h3>How to find the length of the rooms?</h3>Both rooms have the same length but different areas and different widths. This common measurement can be found using the GFC or the greatest common factor. To do this, divide each number by 1,2,3, etc., and find the greatest common number (only integers are valid).
- 50: 50 25 10 5 1
- 90: 90 45 30 18 15 10 9 6 5 3 2 1
The greatest common number is 10, so 10 meters is the length of the room.
<h3>How to find the width?</h3>Use the formula
- A = lenght x width or width = area / lenght
Kitchen.
- Width: 50 / 10
- Width: 5 meters
Dining room:
- Width: 90 / 10
- Width: 9 meters
