While on spring break, Kayla decided she wanted to go parasailing She was held at a constant angle above the water by a large to

w rope attached to the back of the boat. The length of the tow rope is 240 meters. If the angle of the rope keeps Kayla at a horizontal distance of 181 meters away from the boat, how high above the boat is Kayla?

Answer:

157.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Horizontal distance = 181m

Length of the rope =240m

To know how high above Kayla was, we will use the Pythagoras theorem.

According to the theorem;

d² = x²+y²

x is the horizontal distance

y is the vertical distance

d is the length of the rope

Substitute

240² = 181²+y²

y² = 240²-181²

y² = 24839

y = √24839

y = 157.6m

Hence the boat is 157.6m above Kayla

Calculate the area of the composite figure.<br> 9 in<br> 5 in<br> 18 in<br> 5 in<br> 17 in
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Let's split the figure first:

9 x 5 = 45(area of small rectangle on top)

18 - 5 = 14(height)

17 - 9 = 8(width)

14 x 8 = 112(area of rectangle in the middle nearly)

18 - 5 = 14(base)

5(base 1) + 14(base 2) = 19

17 - 9 = 8(height)

19 x 8 = 152

152 divided by 2( x 1/2) = 76(area of a trapezoid on the side)

Now let's add all the given areas:

45 + 112 + 76 = 233 in^2 is your answer.
