If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.

Solution:

h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13

The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.

Answer:

11.7647059 % gain

9500-8500 = 1000

Divide by the original amount

1000/8500=.117647059

DUDE SOMEONE ANSWER THIS QUESTION
son4ous [18]

The line which rises to the left has slope of -1/3 and y intercept  of 2 so we have

y = -1/3x + 2

3y = -x + 6

x + 3y = 6

Shading is below and the line is  solid so the inequality  is

x + 3y  ≤ 6

The other line has equation

y = 3x - 1

and inequality is

y ≥ 3x - 1

The answer is B

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

AE = EC

so, 5x + 3 = 118

5x + 3 = 118

Bring +3 to the other side so -3

5x = 118 - 3

5x = 115

Bring 5 to the other side so:

x = 115 ÷ 5

x = 65
