Answer:
AE = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we need to find corresponding sides that are defined in both figures. The table below shows the given values.
From the table, we can write the proportion ...
EA/RS = BC/TU . . . corresponding sides are proportional
EA/6 = 4/8 . . . . . . . substitute given lengths
EA = 6(4/8) = 3
The length of AE is 3 units.
Answer:
14 knots
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the speed (55 knots) is 6 more than 3.5 times the winner of the monohull in the 2007 tournament.
So let's set the variable for the speed of the monohull to <em>m</em>. Now, let's set up an equation:
We can solve this by first subtracting 6 from both sides to get:
Dividing both sides by 3.5 we get:
That means that the top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament was 14 knots
We have been given the expression
We have the exponent rule
Using this rule, we have
Now, using the fact that , we get
D is the correct option.
