Answer:

16 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance (D) of acorn from base of tree :

Using Pythagoras :

Adjacent = sqrt[(hypotenus² - opposite²)]

Hence,

D = sqrt[(20² - 12²)]

D = sqrt[(400 - 144)]

D = sqrt(256)

D = 16 feets

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

  • 9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he speed of the boat on the lake is x.

<u>Considering the speed of the current it will take him:</u>

  • 22.5/(x + 6) + 22.5/(x - 6) = 9
  • 2.5 / (x  + 6) + 2.5 / (x - 6) = 1
  • 2.5(x - 6 + x + 6) = (x + 6)(x - 6)
  • 2.5*2x = x² - 36
  • x² - 5x - 36 = 0
  • x = (5 ± √(5² + 4*36))/2 = (5 ± 13) / 2
  • x = (5 + 13)/2 = 9 mph (negative root is discarded as the speed should be positive)
