Answer:

18.87 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.

Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.

Time for which they move = 2.5 hours

To find:

The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.

Solution:

Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.

Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.

Distance = Speed \times Time

Distance\ OA = 10 \times 2.5 = 25\ km

Distance\ OB = 16 \times 2.5 = 40\ km

We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.

AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled \triangle AOB.

According to Pythagorean theorem:

\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 25^2 + 40^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 2225^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 \approx 47.17\ km

The speed at which distance is increasing between the two boats is given as:

\dfrac{47.17}{2.5} \approx 18.87\ km/hr

i hope this makes sense lol. You can see it's a linear since it decrease at a steady rate. so you have to find the slope and find the y- intercept

Which ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 15

4x + 3y = -5

4x + 3(2x - 15) = -5

4x + 6x - 45 = -5

10x = 40

x = 40/10

x = 4

y = 2x - 15

y = 2(4) - 15

y = 8 - 15

y = -7

Solution = (4,-7)

Option → C

(3.125) + (-3.9) - (2.46)
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>-3.235</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's start by removing the parentheses and simplifying the expression.

3.125 + - 3.9 - 2.46

Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting it, so we can remove the + sign.

3.125 - 3.9 - 2.46

From there, we can do simple subtraction and get:

-3.235
