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.

( 2x + 1 ) + ( 3x+2 ) =
MrRa [10]

Answer: 5x+3

Let's go over this problem step by step:

First, you need to combine all the line terms.

2x + 1 + 3x + 2

Next, you get this equation:

( 2x + 3x ) + ( 1 + 2 )

2x and 3x is 5x. 1 and 2 is 3.

So your final answer is 5x+3.

Use the figure below to identify angles and segment lengths
slega [8]

So Angle GEN and FED are vertical angles, which means that their angles are congruent. Therefore, Angle FED is 60°

Angle GEN and DEN are a linear pair, which means that they are supplementary angles (add up to 180). To find Angle DEN, we have to form the equation: 60 + DEN = 180

For this, all you have to do is subtract 60 on both sides, and your answer will be: DEN = 120°

The population of a city is 45,000 and decreases 2% each year. If the trend continues, what will the population be after 15 year
Sloan [31]
The answer is 31,500.
Let's clarify some things :
1% of 45,000 is 450
Maybe you're wondering why , it's actually very simple .
Just move the decimal to the left once if you want to find 10% , move the decimal twice if you want to find 1%.
We now that 1% equals 450. Then 2% equals to....
Well just add another 1% .
450 + 450 or 450 times 2
Which equals 900.
Now we want to find what's the population after 15 years.
900 times 15= 13,500
But that's not the answer ....
That's what is decreasing.
45,000 - 13,500= 31,500
That's why the answer is 31,500.
